    Potential lost

    It had potential to be beautiful. Instead they went for low hanging tug at your heart strings cheese. I wonder how much they paid the 5th grader that wrote it?

    Kept me entertained

    Cannot tune into the thumbs down reviewers !?

    "Braking for Whales" is a wonderfully simple story of a brother & sister rediscovering one another after years of separation due to their willful and mistaken concept of one another. This is a charming independent road film worthy of being watched by all.

    Director: Sean McEwen and Writers: Sean McEwen & Tammin Sursok have created a thoughtful and sensitive road story dealing with end of life issues and self discovery emotional conflicts. Actors Tom Felton & Tammin Sursok portray the two main characters perfectly.

    Great Movie!

    It's an interesting movie. I loved Tom's acting and also Austin Swift! Wow!!

    Unwatchable

    Overacted. Bizarre scenes that last way too long. Terrible dialogue. This is a real swing and a miss.

    Much better than the ratings

    Was glad to see all the positive comments from user reviews, after seeing it only has a 4.9 rating. This was to me an excellent little picture. I especially liked the acting of the lead sister 'Star'. She couldn't be better named because she is definitely headed in that direction.

    Nothing special, just an enjoyable romp down the road of life.
