The Boat Builder

Was this an improv? The only guidance for every character in the story seems to be, "do whatever you want - there are no consequences for any action you take."

What happened to the end of the movie... it had potential, but it was slow and lacked meat. We only got half of the bones.

The premace to the story was interesting, but it lacked substance, development of the characters and, in a few words, they only presented the cliff notes. The movie left me speechless and the review has to be 600 words, so many more that the dialog in the movie. I usually like Christopher Lloyd and I really liked the young boy. Shame on the daughter for not understanding her father's predicament and the boys uncle was absolutely clueless. The scenery was beautiful and the locale was stunning.

I watched this movie solely to see another performance by Christopher Lloyd. He is a wonderful, talented actor.

Christopher Lloyd is a delight. The story is predictable but the life of the old man, his work, and his dream resonates.

The acting is appalling except for Lloyd who is excellent, and Rachel Resheff who is also good as the cousin. And the script could have been much better, but it's sweet story and enjoyable to watch. If you don't go in expecting Spielberg, you will find it's not a bad movie.
