Gone Fishin' Ratings & Reviews

Well worth watching and funny 😄
New York Daily News
Nick Charles
The plot and dialogue are third-rate and no one, not even Mel Gibson -- Glover and Pesci's Lethal Weapon partner -- could save this clunker.
Los Angeles Times
Gene Seymour
A mirthless, graceless slapstick comedy with little to recommend it except some Florida scenery -- which, come to think of it, isn't all that scenic.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Big mistake.
Chicago Tribune
John Petrakis
It is testimony to the superior acting skills of Joe Pesci and Danny Glover that Gone Fishin' registers more than a blip on the summer movie radar screen.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
This is one of the summer's sorrier excuses for a major-studio release.
Dispatch-Tribune Newspapers
Steve Crum
Dumb n dumber middle agers Glover & Pesci in land and sea adventures.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
I hope the person that greenlighted this was fired.
Film Threat
Michael Ferraro
A terrible ride with two idiotic characters.
Hollywood Bitchslap
Oz
Like any Pesci outing post-Goodfellas, this can be described with one word; that word is 'hackneyed'.
Austin Chronicle
Russell Smith
Maybe the sequel will even make me laugh.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
I don't even know where to start.
Variety
Daniel M. Kimmel
Film is so formulaic that virtually every plot point is telegraphed way in advance.
New York Times
Lawrence Van Gelder
This is a film that misses the boat right from the start through an improper mixture of fools.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Cut bait and avoid this trip.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Roger Hurlburt
Gone Fishin' is a slapdash, slapstick waste of time -- hook, line and stinker.
TV Guide
They only highlight the sheer, witless desperation of all involved.

Scott Weinberg
Without question one of the stupidest comedies I've ever seen.
