Ken M A gem of a movie. In it, a man convinces his best friend from his college years to agree to ride with him up the California coast to Portland with the promise that the friend's first love, and a possible life together with her, are there. The former is shut in on himself, driven by a purpose and mission he is unable to share; the latter is his sentimental, emotionally connected and vulnerable other half. Ultimately, the approach of secrecy and suppressed emotions fails the former and he is forced to open up to his emotionally intelligent friend. After already making some hard choice to undo some of his potentially damaging choices, he finally becoming vulnerable, accepts his friend's support and heads home to try something new: be honest and hopefully save his marriage. Meanwhile, the emotionally intelligent friend keeps going to Portland, his heart flush with hope. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Deeply important. One for the dreamers. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible script. It was so full of ridiculous monologues that lacked any substance. The characters were almost all morally repugnant. The defining moment of one guy's life is a boat ride he went on with a girl. His friend begs him to tell the story of the boat ride as if it is the most amazing story in the world. The women they are talking to sit rapt with attention. And here's the story: he went on a boat ride in college where he and a girl had a great conversation. Was there more to the story? No. Did they kiss? No. Did the boat sink? No. Did they get romantically lost in a hidden cove? No. The story is that they went on a boat ride and talked. I kid you not, that's the pivotal moment of this guy's life that drives the whole movie. And this story was enough to entertain two grown women and prompt one of the worst monologues on love I've ever listened to, spoken by a woman who got divorced that morning. The whole movie was a mess. Nice scenery. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review l g title caught my eye, and the short synopsis seemed promising. really liked the filming locations, would have liked to have seen them even more than we did. for those reasons i found it was watchable. not trying to be mean or negative, but you do not have to look too hard to find a better movie. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dax h Dives deep into relationships and marriages and navigates it all with exceptional graceful dialogue and strong acting that kept it on track. Some beautiful shots. Worth a watch for sure. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Every line felt like it was been read off the script. The actors never inhabited their dull characters. The central idea was good but it felt so wooden and was shot like a cheesy commercial. I quit at 31mins. Room for improvement.
