can anyone tell me the kind, type, or model of cabin cruiser boat owned by Craawford and his father in this movie??? It was the power boat that the son was on when the mother first contacted him. It was the boat the he used for "charters". Now i am just trying to fill up the ten line requirement for a posting This boat may be called a cabin cruiser or it may be called something else. Please respond to robertsimmons47@yahoo.com thank you.The boat was big enough for a person to walk into standing up. The 3 of them were on the boat at the end of the movie. It had windows around the sides so you could see out .
I saw this movie because of the previews. Chase Crawford is one hot, clean, decent guy. I am glad I watched it because his dad was an old familiar face to me. I thought the woman playing the mother got in many ways what she deserved until the very end. I don't mean a mother should lose a child for any reason but her attitude really needed some work. I do not understand why there is no information on this movie as yet but at least it now shows up when I request the title. I think that over the next few years the name Chace Crawford will appear more and more. At least I hope so. He brought that special something that made me root for the entire family. Dad got what he deserved in the end too. A place to sit and reflect. ha ha. Such dedication from a mother is something I would like to see more of today on TV. Maybe the networks will soon drop those stupid reality shows and go back to things like LONG LOST SON. Anyway I highly recommend this movie. It is just one notch above a movie of the week and will bring out feelings you may have not felt in a long while with the stuff being put on TV today.
i know people have their own tastes and i'm not saying the ratings of 10 may not be genuine, but one has to question when the over-all ratings of a movie are 5.4 and people post a full 10.
it always causes me to believe that person has a personal agenda in doing so and the movie deserves it's 5.4.
maybe they are that actor or one of their relatives wanting to promote them or someone one connected to the film who would benefit financially, but something is glaringly wrong when i see that happen. it doesn't help me decide to see the film----it causes me to NOT want to see the film.

This movie was so touching to me. Especially as a mother of two myself I can really empathize with Gabrielle Anwar's character in this movie. Whoever chose the cast for this movie did an excellent job of choosing Chace Crawford to play her grown son. He is very handsome. I looked this movie up online to see what this guys name was. I swear I thought he was my daycare provider's son. They could literally be twins! This young man Chace Crawford brought a whole lot of feeling and emotion to this movie. I don't think the movie would've been this great if they didn't cast him in it. I hope to see this young man in more movies very soon!
Gabrielle Anwar makes an unforgettable performance as the mother who loses her son and refuses to accept it and then regains him, by personal extreme efforts breaking all laws and barriers, like only a desperate mother can do. Her performance is utterly convincing, but so is also that of all the others - the father, understandable and sympathetic in spite of his obvious transgressions, and the son, Chase Crawford, as her 18-year old son recovered after 14 years. The story touches on the incredible, not any mother would recognize a lost son after 14 years, especially as he was lost in tender childhood, but here motherhood triumphs in supreme intuition. It's a problematic family drama with many debatable issues about fatherhood and motherhood - if father and mother have to separate, who has the right of their son? Motherhood usually wins, but the father is not without a case.
