Moviegoers are saying

The Pout-Pout Fish has become an unintentional cult phenomenon, with audiences flocking to empty theaters for what many describe as a hilariously disastrous animated experience. This Australian production starring Nick Offerman has achieved legendary status among moviegoers who appreciate cinema so bad it's almost good, with reports of drug deals in theaters and viewers watching South Park instead of the actual film.

I kid you not, I saw a drug deal happen in the theater. No one else was there, I was in the back. Two guys came in, exchanged baggies then ran off. Shoulda asked if they had spare whatever the hell that was.

I felt bad for all the parents that had to bring their kids to watch this trash movie, and then I felt even worse for myself for being 30 with no kids no b*tches and still being here for this dumb ahh movie

The Pout-Pout Fish

It’s a cute movie with a great cast but it does fall a little short at times. I do think some of the humor was wonderful though!

Cinematic Joshua is "meh" on

The Pout-Pout Fish

An Animated Adventure that fishes for light chuckles with a bunch of colorful characters that don’t really land.

Not my favorite. Everyone telling him to smile drove me nuts and the starfish really creeped me out
