Burned out, a writer of children's books falls into a midlife crisis.

Linda Cook

KWQC-TV (Iowa)

'Feed the Fish' is a quiet, funny movie that's a nice take on the old fish-out-of-water formula. The screenplay recognizes the formula and makes it enjoyable with quirky characters and the by turns gorgeous and stark backdrop of Door County, Wis.

Rated: 3/4

Writer-director Michael Matzdorff, a Green Bay native, clearly has an affection for Door County ... But that makes the weather and other up-nort clichs all the more disappointing.

Rated: 2/4

Cute but hokey movie, but I loved it because it's filmed in Door County! So many places I recognized.

Well, this had it's moments of chuckles from me. Not enough moments, though. I don't know if this movie suffers from not so great editing, or not enough strength in the storyline, but something just seemed to be missing. Not a bad movie at all. It seemed to have so much potential, but just didn't hold up.

A cute, heartwarming love story with plenty of heart, backed with a hilarious performance by Tony Shalhoub that makes for a very enjoyable time.

Tony Shaloub irritates me to no end, so I probably should have known better than to try to watch this movie. I sat through 40 minutes of it, realized I just did not care what was happening, and shut it off. Besides the fact that I can't stand him, the movie as a whole is very boring and never really seems to go anywhere. Don't bother.
