Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Named after a line in The Godfather, Finn Taylor's directorial debut offers proof that movies about death don't have to be grim. Like Harold and Maude--but grittier--Taylor (Cherish) keeps the tone light and quirky. If you were to ask, he might even say that Dream with the Fishes is actually about life, but Terry (David Arquette) really does want to die and Nick (Brad Hunt) really does have only a few weeks to live. Death is what binds the two together. They would otherwise have nothing in common. The men live in the same San Francisco neighborhood, but Terry is a depressed widower with a penchant for voyeurism, while Nick may be terminally ill, yet he and his tattoo artist girlfriend, Liz (a virtually unrecognizable Katherine Erbe from Law and Order: Criminal Intent), live life to the full. They're just the medicine that the (psychically) ailing Terry needs. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - Absolutely, Positively Outstanding!!!!!
Just by chance, I caught CHERISH on IFC. I immediately ordered it and watched it every night until FISHES arrived. I ordered DREAM WITH THE FISHES merely from watching the Special Features on the CHERISH DVD, when Brad Hunt had mentioned FISHES (not knowing anything at all about the movie; plus I also ordered the Soundtracks to both of these Excellent Movies!). When FISHES arrived, I watched it even more than CHERISH! Brad Hunt's acting in this movie is SO OUTSTANDINGLY FLAWLESS And GENUINE!!! Add ... Read More

Rating:  - Awesome Sound-Track
This is an enjoyable lil'film. Heart-warming, charming, thought-provoking with a fun sound-track. A cohesion of twists and turns, deffinitely worth watching once maybe even twice like I did, and who knows in the next couple of years even a 3rd time around through my DVD player. Rent it now!
Rating: - FINALLY ONE OF MY PRAYERS ANSWERED BY THE DVD GODS !!!
OK I first witnessed this film at a Film Festival A long time ago. After I dragged all my friends to see it I bought it on VIDEO then came the DVD REVOLUTION. I slowly starting replacing ALL MY VIDEOS w/ DVDs. After everything was said and done I was left with a few films on video that COMMANDED that I hold onto my stupid VCR. THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE FILMS!!!! .... If you are wondering which 2 films I speak of I am refering to (bright lights big city) and (valley girl) their were others HOWEVER I CANNOT ... Read More
Rating: - I want everyone (reading this) to know....
This is the best film I've seen in a LONG time. (about a year or so). I honestly don't participate in many reviews, but i just finished viewing this film and felt that it deserves a review. I bought this film on Amazon (used) for a couple bucks (about 8 bucks incl. s+h) based on the positive reviews from viewers, and let me tell you it was WELL worth every cent. (I would of paid 3 times that price...even used !!) If you like quirky, off-beat characters, good dialogue, dark humor, romance, emotionally driven, ... Read More
