    Excellent performance by Tristan Smith!

    The movie was not the brightest crayon in the box...but the reason for this comment is to recognize Tristan Smith's extraordinary performance. He captured audiences through heart-wrenching emotions and chilling truths. His performance is an inspiration to us all; defying all odds as an actor and overall human being. Tristan Smith can be considered one of the greatest actors of our time. He has improved acting ability in all actors by his performances. His perseverance in his acting career has defied all logic known to man. And in addition, he is a great person outside of his career. Yes, I have met the great Tristan Smith many a time, and his presence was a blessing to my soul. This man has done so much, and yet only a cosmology paper has come out of it ;-). This man needs a standing ovation for his greatness in everything he pursues. And just because he was in this movie, I give it a 10 out of 10. 11 if I could've :-).

    Beautifully filmed, lovely scenery, enjoy that and ignore the plot.

    My nephew is in the film,so I have to post that first.He of course,did a wonderful job. (Ben Lehman) However,the plot is ridiculous,it's often funny when it should be sad and the young boy is more annoying than sympathetic.However is a beautiful film. Mackinac Island is lovely and for Michigan residents it's always a treat to see the best parts of our state on film. The only other films I'm aware that have been filmed on the island are Somewhere in Time(1980) and one of Esther Williams films, though I'm not sure which one. If you ever come across this film-though I'm not sure how, because you won't find it in your local video store, and you want to watch it to see how lovely Mackinac Island is in the summertime,it's worth it. Oh, and of course enjoy Ben Lehman's debut performance in a film.
