Paradise Lake, near Kissimmee, Florida, is hosting a Professional Bass Association contest. Local bait-shop owner and former amateur champ, Bill Dugan, is in deep trouble: the bank wants $15,000 for the shop's mortgage, he doesn't tell his wife who's angry when she finds out, and his wealthy blow-hard father-in-law wants Bill to work for him. The tournament favorite is Hot Rod Johnson, a crowd-pleaser and ESPN darling who'll do anything to win. Bill's son Scott thinks Hot Rod is cool, Hot Rod opens a huge store close to Bill's, his ne'er-do-well pals are ready to desert him, and Bill may lose it all. His one hope is to enter the contest and win the prize. Time to fish or cut bait.

| User ReviewGerard DThis is for every guy that has sat through every chick flick and female drama TV Shows out there.. I'm giving this a perfect rating because it's a new breeze of fresh air, there's not alot of fishing movies out there.. If your a fan of Happy Gilmour then you'll love Bait Shop.. Plus alot of guys can relate to both Billy Ray and Bill Engvall.. If you know Bill Engvall then you'll know the hidden " Here's Your Sign" moment, plus in one quick scene they used the interior of Bass Pro Shop as Hot Rod Johnson's store. It's a down to earth film with no high tech special effects or any sex symbols.. I honestly want to see a Bait Shop 2, cuz it's an enjoyable film for the whole family.. I highly highly reccomend Bait Shop to everyone.. |
| User ReviewJosh GI love Engvall in this. It's really great and I love how Cyrus plays someone you wouldn't really expect him to. |
| User ReviewDee SThought it was an OK movie. Was a bit disappointed it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. |
| User ReviewSonny NI'm giving this a 4 out of 5 rating cause really, I get the humour in the movie and I liked it. And Billy Ray Cyrus's acting was hilarious. His character was over the top I think but then it fit the tone of the antagonist well. He played a character we all love to love but also hate. As for Bill Engvall's character, you gotta laugh at times at his misfortunes but he plays the underdog well and does end up doing well, beyond all belief. As this movie is about fishing and a bass fishing tournament, it is mostly for people that can appreciate this type of environment and humour, but if you can enjoy it, I'd recommend it as it can make you laugh quite a bit. |
| User ReviewMatt CBelieve it or not! I liked it! It was a good story, with something for everyone! |
| User ReviewKurt WHad some funny points, not a bad storyline. Could be a-little better though |
| User ReviewDaniel Mpretty good for a cheezy TV movie. some of the acting was bad but that is to be expected. biggest drawback was billy ray cyrus. couldn't act his way out of a paper bag |
| User ReviewJamie RI thought this movie was pretty funny thanks to Bill Engvall! It also had a cute story, but Billy Ray can't act for anything! :) |
| User ReviewPhil PThis is good. It wont win any awards but its a feel good funny movie. |
| User ReviewNicole Sclassic engvall movie... funny, but predictable. |
