Shooting Fish

    In this daft yet endearing romantic comedy from director Stefan Schwartz, two friends — American Dan Futterman and Briton Stuart Townsend — try to pull off a series of money-making scams. From selling bogus voice-recognition computers to nonexistent loft insulation, the boys are doing well until mutual love interest Kate Beckinsale sets them at odds. This is an Ealing comedy-style caper in a contemporary setting with both a high cuteness factor and some imaginative gags. But it overstays its welcome and succumbs to a schmaltzy conclusion.

    Brilliant!

    This film is ace, not full of violence, not full of over rated bimbo stars but a good mix of a hand ful of good actors. Storyline is brilliant and highy recommended to all who want to be nicely entertained and watch a genuine film.
