Amazing! John Lurie approaches Genius status!
12 Sep 1999
Wow - well, having all the episodes on one DVD is helpful as it gives you a chance to really study them. John Lurie's unique, subtle, sophisticated, and nearly indescribable brand of humour is present in each one. The convenience of DVD, combined with crisp sound and image quality and the completeness of this package are easily enough to justify this purchase alone. What really made it for me though, was having a separate audio track of Lurie's own commentary through each episode. I found myself watching an episode and then watching the same one again immediately following, this time while listening to Lurie. His commentary is often humorous, but at times often revealing of himself as an artist and person, not to mention the technical insights of the production of the show - its as if he's sitting in the room with you while you watch it. The disc closes with Lurie's fabulous "Big Heart" video with the Lounge Lizards which I hadn't seen since VH1's old "New Visions" show in the late 80's.
John Lurie is surely one of the most gifted, and soulful artists of the 80's and 90's. Thank you John, for sharing your humour and perspective with all of us...please do more episodes...

A rare treat . . .
22 Jun 2006
. . . that is both stupid as hell and screamingly funny. The Dennis Hopper episodes are the best.
In actual fact, whether or not Fishing With John is really funny at all, life is beautiful.

Are you kidding me?
11 Aug 2004
I just have to say that this DVD may be the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life! If you aren't into creative humor, or you are looking for a real fishing documentary then forget it. If you appreciate the unusual however, go for it. Just make sure you have a couple of hours to devote to floor-rolling laughter. When you are done watching it, invite some friends over and watch it again! It's even better the second time around.
