Kettle of Fish review
Steve T - wrote on 10/04/2020
I watched Kettle of Fish only because my wife was watching it. I was pleasantly surprised at how entertaining it was. I didn't like much about the character, Mel, at first, but as the movie went on, he became more likable. The movie reminded me a lot of When Harry Met Sally (minus the wildlife).

Kettle of Fish is a standard romantic comedy with a twist. The main character is a live-by-himself man child who has no time for anyone, but himself. He has it made!
After subletting his apartment, he gets kicked out of his girlfriend’s apartment. Having to crawl back to his old place, the displacement provides the catalyst for the man to mature.
A chance encounter with a bride to be, and the story is basically complete.
Good acting by the characters keeps the audience guessing as to who will end up with who.
The supporting characters keep it from being ‘just another romantic comedy. Fun and honest it is a delight. A goldfish and a frog named Casanova round out the cast.
The pacing of the relationships keep the movie rolling along. Predictable, yet fun, it manages to tell a …
