The simplicity of the story added to its charm. I wish there was another movie with more adventures of Fin. There wasn't any complicated plot. It is just a simple story of friendship and life.

4 out of 4 people found this review helpful This movie was very uplifting and very well put together! Besides most of the scenes that were filmed are in my hometown, I was doubtful at first. The slowness of the movie makes it very classy. I strongly encourage you to give it a chance!WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More As quite a few other people have mentioned, I too did not want this film to end! I went into it with low expectations and was drawn in within the first 5 minutes. Not your typical script or copycat version of soooo many other films these days (seems writers and producers have become extremely lazy when it comes to creating original story lines). It was touching, heartwarming and humorous and you could totally relate to either one or more of the main characters and the reasons for their lifestyles and personalities. For those that thought this was boring, maybe you should stick with the cookie cutter action/adventure flicks where you don't need to "feel" or "think" about anything!

Read More Not knowing what the movie was about (at all, my wife picked the movie), I had no expectations and decided to try to enjoy whatever it was about. I can now see why the reviews are such a love/hate mix. Personally, I did not mind the slow pace and the fact that it was about 'nothing' (ala' Seinfeld). I grew up in a small town - that's how life is there (largely). So, I rather enjoyed the movie but didn't -love- it. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

I've continued thinking about this since seeing it a week ago. Only three stars because some scenes seem to come out of -and go- nowhere. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Very slow, situational, but interesting. But when it ended, I sort of said 'ah... ok.... yeah... hmmm...' or noises to that effect. It was one of those movies with no real 'there' there. I got 'it', but 'it' just wasn't all that big a deal. It ended not because the story reached an obvious end, but rather simply because it ended.
That all said, very well acted. Very well filmed and directed for the kind of movie it is.
