The Favour, the Watch and the Very Big Fish

About This Movie

So, 'The Favour, the Watch and the Very Big Fish' is this quirky comedy from 1991 directed by Ben Lewin. You’ve got Bob Hoskins as this photographer whose specialty is religious imagery—definitely an unusual angle, right? The film has this offbeat humor, a bit absurd at times, especially when he gets roped into doing voice work for a porno with Natasha Richardson. The chemistry is interesting, but it’s the dynamic with Jeff Goldblum that brings a unique twist to the narrative. It’s all about the search for the ideal model for Jesus while navigating this awkward romantic triangle. The pacing's a tad uneven, but it adds to the charm. Definitely a film that stands out for its odd premise and engaging performances.
