At times touching and then funny. Butler was great. Recommended.

Heartwarming, sweet, and perfectly dramatic. Brilliant performances by Emily Mortimer and the young Jack McElhone.

A beautiful, moving, and gripping piece of entertainment. This is the reason I became a filmmaker.

Very touching and poignant movie. Gerard Butler is awesome!!

The atmosphere is gray, evoking with it a calm and deep longing. Something about the sea and the rocky shore draw attention. It needs to be understood, as does Frankie. As do all the characters. They're all reaching out for something, someone to love. It's a beautiful film with a lot of heart and a lot sadness. And it's all about love. A love that won't rest, doesn't demand anything in return. Something real that happens, allowing us to see the world differently, and ourselves as better people.

An effective family drama that's a little too slow.

Very sweet!

Concept behind movie is good. I don't understand why it is not mentioned anywhere, but the boy is deaf which provides another interesting angle. Some good parts, but after moving slowly through the early parts, it then really rushed through the conclusion. This lead to one of those endings where your thinking "the credits aren't coming now are they? oh your kidding me! what the heck?!" Good tutorial on skipping rocks provided too.

This is a cute little gem with a heart tugging story line.
