The River Why (2010)

Best movie ever!

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This movie really couldn't get any worse than say, a pile of sh*t. I really wanted to like it. Hell, I could even looked past most of the piles of sh*t just for the scenery alone. But my crumbled Christ why couldn't anyone on the staff of this film stepped in and read the script and said, "Wait a minute, this is one big piece of sh*t!" An easy re-write could have been performed. I personally know 3 monkeys and one certified mentally disabled donkey that have credentials through the screenwriter's guild that could have improved upon this sewage treatment plant of hokum and heavy handed detritus. I don't even know the point of this movie. Maybe to waste another venture capitalist's money? In which case, bravo!

i couple of days ago i found out about this film and saw it today first of all when i saw amber heard's name on it i did expect the film to have many reviews & thought it would be some famous movie i forgot to watch turns out when i saw this its very slow & its not something everyone would like to taste it has some nice dialogs,story & great visuals thats about it nothing more.the plot:Gus is a young guy who leaves his parents for the love of fishing he loves it with passion he discovers himself & finds eddy a pretty young girl who is very much different then himself.the cast:the cast is nice but the lead actor did good & i have to mention amber heard she is just sometimes a very underrated actress to me this role proves it she plays a very stubborn girl but full of life.the relationship of Gus with his parents is weak but when her mother punches him on dinner table is so unexpected i totally jumped on my seat plus there is one smooch scene of amber heard & no nudity here so beware i loved the river fishing scenes those are beautifully shot.overall if you don't have anything on your hands do watch The River Why 2010 my rating is 5/10.recommended

The actors were good, especially their facial nuances.The landscape cinematography captured a vista that leaves me wanting to experience the view in person. It is the one where a long stretch of the river can be seen from a bird's eye point-of-view.Friendships work sometimes when, each sees something in another that they need, and thus obtain it by giving something of equal value. So there is an exchange. And thus, a friendship evolves. Titus was an erudite man, but lacked the worldly experience of fly-fishing. He saw in Gus, the absence of enlightment. After a game of billiards, Gus accepts something he in the past could not understand by an analogy presented by Titus, and Titus is tutored in fly-fishing by Gus later in the film.The relationship with Gus and Eddy is refreshing and somewhat similar, yet well-acted. Again, their facial features add to the quality of their performances. Overall, this an excellent film and I enjoyed it very much. I am not a film critic or movie buff, but I give it an EXCELLENT rating. Don't take my word for it. See it for yourself.

The only redeeming quality to be found in this film is the beautiful Oregon scenery. However, that means that this *highlight* of the movie- watching experience is the equivalent of watching someone's vacation videos. When this is the best thing you can say about a movie, you are in for a painful time.It's a movie about fishing. Granted, you can only expect so much regarding a movie about something like fly fishing, but it *can* be made entertaining (remember "A River Runs Through It"?). This film has the requisite father-son issues, the "surprisingly thoughtful and well-read" protagonist, the spunky love interest, the "I've been searching for fish, and yet I now know I've only been searching for myself" hackneyed conclusion. The only thing that's missing is a group of people slow-clapping at the end. These are 101 minutes of your life you'll never get back. You have been warned.
