It's been five long years since Daniel Bloom (Adam Scott) has heard from his longtime friend Will Morrison (Lukas Haas). After growing up together and even seeing Daniel serve as best man at Will's wedding to the beautiful Maggie (Molly Parker), no one would have suspected that the pair would part ways on such awkward terms. Now, after half a decade away, Will has suddenly appeared on the doorstep of Mary (Wendy Crewson) and Arthur's (R.H. Thompson) remote island cottage. Subsequently summoned back to his childhood haunt by a concerned phone call from his mother, Daniel departs from New York to finally find what became of the long-missing Will. But quite a bit has changed since those innocent days of youth, and just as the harsh words exchanged between the pair suddenly erupt into physical violence, Mary receives word that Maggie is waiting to be picked up at the local dock. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Okay so I can't really write a review since I only lasted 30 minutes of pure "boringness". But my point here is: DON'T. SEE. THIS.
    I'm serious, it sounds like a good concept but damn! It's like lis... read moretening to your mother rant about your room not being clean for hours on end - Impossible to endure!

The twists are a little dizzying for a while, but the characters are all interesting and genuine and earn our sympathy and support. The ending is a bit of a surprise but nicely done, just like the res... Full Review
