The Birthday Fish is a quirky little gem from 1987 that dives into the absurd. It's about this young guy who's completely obsessed with his pet goldfish, and you can't help but feel the oddness of that situation. The comedy leans heavily on awkward moments and the romance plays out in the most unconventional ways. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, almost like it's swimming against the current. Practical effects? Sure, there's a charming DIY vibe to the visuals that amplifies the absurdity. Performances are a mixed bag; some hit the mark while others meander a little. But that’s what gives it its character, right? It's not your typical rom-com, which is what makes it stand out in the crowded 80s landscape.
Unearthly humor that feels offbeat. · Unique take on obsession and romance. · Great for collectors looking for the unusual.
