This is a warmhearted tale of life's twists and turns suitable for all those who are not looking for shoot outs and car chases. Great cast and acting . The casting is perfect and the sets portray the New England setting very accurately. I understand that many of the scenes were actually filmed in Cape Cod. I have seen some reviews saying that this is not a complete adaptation of the book : however, the script was actually written by the author of the book.. Can't get a closer adaptation than one that is actually written by the author herself. It is natural that you cannot put every aspect of the book into a movie. So here the author selected all the most meaningful portions to include in the film. This is a movie that will stay with you..

Cancelling Lodge 49 will go down as one of AMC's most regretted mistakes. It's a delightful multi-faceted series that I'd been meaning to give more attention to here. It's just hard to sum up what a charmingly esoteric experience it is if you've not seen it. (The Prague Paradox by L. Marvin Metz is off the flippin' chain!) Early ads focused on the superficial The Big Lebowski similarities so I didn't expect it to grow on me exponentially with each episode. The ensemble cast & their dialogue sparkled. It's about alchemy, economics, & the friends we made along the way. I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't cancelled after its inaugural season. The second season was even more superlative, featuring a dumpling eating contest between Sonya Cassidy & Paul Giamatti! Apparently AMC only wants to be The Walking Dead Channel now. Please join me in campaigning alternate outlets to pick up Lodge 49 for a third season! I won't let the cancellation bear deprive the world of its idiosyncrasy!
