Review of Passion Fish (1992) by Caroline L — 22 Jul 2007

I?ve only ever seen Alfre Woodard on Desperate Housewives and her storyline sucked on that, so...but she was really good in this. I absolutely love that the movie is set in the swamplands of Louisiana and you get some "coonass" stuff.

I also like that you don?t exactly get the ending you?re expecting...you know, everything tied up and how you want it to be. Oh, the awesome parts. A black Cajun cowboy player (complete with big ole hat and boots).

Jennifer Garner as a former castmate of ex-soap star May Beth?s (Mary McDonnell). A visit from former high school ?friends.? And, the line ?I never asked for the anal probe.? Yep, you read that right.

But the film is really good and the acting is superb. And, even though it is hard to find; it really is worth it.
