Screen legend Ben Gazzara (Husbands, Saint Jack) headlines this gentle, amiable comedy drama. He stars as Jake Palladin, a famed Hollywood actor (and two-time Oscar winner) self-exiled to Guatemala. Jake's life gets shaken up with the arrival of young and conceited Hollywood talent agent Josh Ross (David Moscow), who has been shuttled off to Jake's Central American small town to retrieve the aging actor and pull him out of hiding. Unfortunately, locating Jake proves far more difficult than Josh anticipates, and he must rely heavily on the assistance and support of the local community -- which he resents -- to find the great thespian. Though Josh eventually succeeds in locating his man, neither he nor Jake can anticipate the journeys of self-discovery that their encounter will engender, forcing each man to reconfront his long-abandoned past. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

This is a film that develops slowly. If you're looking for blazing guns, look elsewhere. Many lessons on how not to act when you want information. It was a nice look at Antigua, Guatamala and the pace of life there. We like Latin America so it was a nice travelogue. A look at the relationships between locals and expats. There is a lot of kindness here. What happened to Ben Gazzara's voice?

Makes you feel sorry for Ben. Tries to emulate "Romancing The Stone" and fails. Shoulda called Danny.

This movie was OK, except for Ben Gazzra.. Not only did the character quit working, so did Ben.
