Gone Fishin' (1997)

Gone Fishin' woof! 1997 (PG) Long delayed comedy (thanks to some on-set disasters and well founded doubts about quality) finds best friends and bass-masters of disaster Gus (Glover) and Joe (Pesci) thinking they're going on a peaceful fishing trip. Instead they meet two women (Arquette and Whitfield) who are on the trail of a dangerous British con artist (Brimble). Pesci and Glover have reeled in one stinky old shoe of a movie here. Granted, it's not entirely their fault, but they should've known better. There are no surprises (or laughs) as every joke and set piece is tipped way ahead of time, just so you won't miss it. Less fun than a fish hook in the eye. 94m/C VHS. Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Rosanna Arquette, Lynn Whitfield, Willie Nelson, Nick Brimble, Gary Grubbs, Carol Kane, Edythe Davis; Director: Christopher Cain; Writer: Jeffrey Abrams, Jill Mazurzsky Cody; Writer: Dean Semler; Cameo: Randy Edelman.
