    Created a fandango account just to write a bad review of this movie

    This movie is terrible. I would rather get kicked in my privates by a midget than watch this film again. The acting was fine; the marketing was great. Only one thing missing - an interesting story. This was the most boring film I have ever seen. Only 5 people in the theater - 5 too many as far as I am concerned. There is no twist. There is no turn. There is nothing. Idea for the writers and producers - how about a film about going to the grocery store next? It would be more suspenseful to watch someone decide which cereal brand to buy. Imagine Seinfeld without the comedy and for 2 hours. A movie about nothing. The only conversation piece for this movie is how could I have wasted time and money on such a film. This film does not even deserve that level of attention.

    Real or Hoax?

    Saw a sneak preview and came away from the theater really impressed with this movie. Then I found out that this supposedly true story may be a hoax. If so, then I feel cheated but also understand why that may still fit the basic message of the movie, so overall can say it is still worth a look. Saying anything else would spoil it for those who do go.

    Catfish

    Amateurish and difficult to get into in the beginning. Camera juggling and wierd shot angles were very distracting. However, the story became thought provoking and entertaining. Evoked a good conversation after the movie.

    Not the Kind of Film I Expected.

    The last 40 minutes of the film turned out to be a roller coaster ride of falling asleep and staying awake. I was certainly not close to on the edge of my seat

    This film is another prodcut of really false advertising, and everything is expected. It's just about some lonely and kind woman taking on the idenity of other people on facebook. Most of the film goes into her boring and sad life. I felt sorry for the woman in the film, and it made me very depressed. The only thing i liked about the film was the woman's paintings. She is a great artist. Other than that, I do not recommend this film. It is nothing like the trailer makes it appear to be. After the film I just felt depressed and cheated.

    Don't believe one word of the "last 40 min" mentioned in that trailer.

    My Rating: 3/10

    Catfish

    This was a great movie. I do not want to spoil it because it has a HUGE twist about 1/4 - 1/3 of the way through and thankfully so because it was getting a little boring. Than it gets really good and you get very involved in how it will all turn out.

    Don't waste your time

    What a horrible disappointment. If you can get past the shaky camera (gag - I was seasick the whole movie) - the story is SO uninteresting. I was hoping for a true "surprise" ending. Instead I got EXACTLY what I expected was going to happen. This was truly an inane, stupid movie. Next time I want to be ?entertained? in this manner, I will go watch my neighbor?s vacation videos.

    CATFISH is a must go!!!

    i loved the film.

    i have seen it multiple times. very insightful documentary on how influential social networking can be in our lives.

    the film was hilarious, suspenseful, and heartbreaking all at the same time.

    can't wait for the DVD!
