Review of Fetch

Fetch (2004)
7/10
This has "urban legend" written all over it, but it's enjoyable
21 May 2009
I like this film but hated that it began with a note that this was "based on a true story". Yeah, right!! This strongly appears to be an old urban legend, as I've heard many variations on it over the years. One version is at http://www.snopes.com/critters/cruelty/dynamite.asp.

Despite this story almost certainly being NOT based on a real case, it is enjoyable. The production values are exceptional and the acting is just fine. It has a nice professional quality about it and it very watchable.

A boy and his son are going ice fishing. The father forgets to bring the ice auger and so he naturally uses dynamite to create a hole. Now who on this planet just happens to have dynamite in their car...and not the auger?!?!? But, despite all this, it's clever and funny and worth a look.
