Sick of living in a home shrouded with secrets, lies and a smothering sense of competition, Gus (Zach Gilford, Friday Night Lights) runs away from home and the shadow of his famous fly-fishing father (William Hurt). Determined to live life like he wants it, Gus makes his new home in a secluded cabin on the banks of a river where he plans to fish all day. Instead, he is propelled into a quest for self-discovery. An assortment of eccentric characters, including a free-spirited girl (Amber Heard, Zombieland) who shares his fondness for fishing, helps him find his way toward adulthood. Based on a book that has become a cult classic and set in the breathtaking wilds of Oregon, THE RIVER WHY will cast a spell on your heart.
A young man abandons his family for a solitary life of fly-fishing. His goal was to find his own way in the fishing world and thereby find himself and love.

Not for everyoneThe film was not really a beautiful love story like your used to seeing. It was more or less about the love of fishing. There's alot of philisophical talk about life and fishing. The romance between the two on the cover is barely apart of the movie. If your looking to watch a movie that sweeps you off your feet, this isn't it. If you want to watch a movie that speaks to you in metaphor refering to life and fishing with alot of nature in the background then this is for you. I was not impressed..Score: 2/5
The river whyHands down the best movie I've ever seen. I love the storyline, I love the fishing, I love the meaning of the meaning of each and every metaphor, I love the scenery, and I love how Gus and Eddy "click" and instantly fall in love!.Score: 5/5
The River WhyGreat fly fishing movie! We need more films like this, for those who understand, there is much more to fly fishing, very metaphorical.i.Score: 5/5
Great visuals, ok storyI thought that the film had beautiful images as it was shot on location in Portland and the surrounding areas. But i didn't really connect to the stories or the characters as much as I wanted to. It could have been because I don't really like fishing or fly fishing and don't know much about that culture. But I didn't really connect with the film..Score: 3/5

The perfect catchLove this story. The metaphor is pretty straight forward. Young man breaking away from his parents in search of his identity. A beautiful girl seeking an adventure. It's more then just fly fishing, it's a journey toward some reel and magical. Fishing is only the beginning, what awaits at the end is...life!.Score: 4/5
