Not sure I can say I enjoyed this movie , I did love it though. Superb performances form several cast members... Casey Afflek really was excellent, Michelle Williams while not in the movie a lot was brilliant .

I liked it too. The kid was also great.

Needless to say that critics almost universally loved this movie. Audiences were a bit more divided.
I saw it in the theater shortly after it first came out. As the movie ends and it's still quiet just before everyone starts getting up and filing out, I hear a guy a few rows in back of me say to the
person next to him, "I want my money back".


I thought it was very well done even if it's hard to say that it's an enjoyable flick. A couple of bits of humor mixed in here and there but a bunch of real rough scenes as well.
I went with 3 stars - would have gone 3-1/2 if that were an option.

i liked it more than i thought i would. Well, "like" isn't quite right... "appreciate", perhaps.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, what you guys said.

I endured this terrific movie. Once and out.

When Quebecois show up at a Massachusetts' beach you end up seeing a lot of man-chest-hair by the sea.
