JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
davidliff Nice movie, great underwater shots, beautiful views of Caymen Islands, Great cast. Simple story. Nice family movie.There are only a few basic stories in life, and this movies sticks to the format. Is a sweet story, but the value is in the images and cast. If you like the caymen islands then you will love this movie.Simple story of guys career,coasting, gets a offer from the mean old property mogal to sell his soul for a boost in his career. What can he do by take the offer, find the girl of his dreams and meet interesting people on the way, and of course make a choice or two.Heart warming, safe for children.
BigfootNY I saw this indie film in New York with family and a few friends over the weekend and we all enjoyed it. The island and underwater diving scenes were gorgeous and the acting from the "Rescue Me" guy, Jeff DeMunn (also loved him in Citizen X and all the Stephen King ones), and the rest of the cast was solid and pleasant. Everyone laughed in spots and almost everyone teared up watching parts of it too. My wife and I also liked the subtle environmental message it sends to kids and developers alike. After seeing the movie I can say I would love to live on that island or at least hang out there and scuba dive with the locals (time to renew my certification I guess).
Quinnie110 Cayman Went is a great, feel-good movie for audiences of all ages. The scenery is stunning and will have you wanting to jump on a plane and head directly to the Caymans. The characters are likable (and you may even find amusement from a few quirky "locals"). I took a special interest in the environmental message in the film, which, in a World where people are so environmentally conscious these days, it's overall message is "on point.". You will laugh....you may even cry a bit (if you are an emotional person), but in the end you will leave the theater smiling and feeling good about the film and maybe even man-kind in general. It will have you believing that there are still good, compassionate people out there. There really is something in this film for everyone!
wryter64 I just saw this at the DGA in Hollywood and was impressed on how well the mellow spirit of the islands flows thru the picture. The pacing is easy, the story moves steady, mon, and it is a lovely tale of an actor who's terrible television show is loved by the populace of the beach shack culture in the Cayman Islands - and the transformation he undergoes when forced to sit and stay a while in the ecological paradise that big business wants to develop into another faceless resort.This pro-environment chick flick is sweeter than sugar cane and more intoxicating than island rum. Mike Lombardi carries the picture and is not off camera for more than two minutes throughout. His chiseled good looks - a brunette Dennis Leary crossed with Bob Denver's Gilligan - are easy to believe as the narcissistic actor. The transformation he undergoes to save the way of life in one small part of the unspoiled Caymans is believable and uplifting.But Lombardi's character needs prodding to transform and it comes from a local landowner (Jeffrey DeMunn) and an environmentally conscious love interest (Susan Misner). In the long- lost style of mid-century love stories, a strong woman shows a man how to be vulnerable. Yes, you may think you have seen it a hundred times before, but the real star of this love story is the Cayman Islands themselves, lush tropical paradise where just enough does not happen that you discover yourself amidst the beauty.
