MCT:July 6, 2008Disappointing. The book this is based on is absolutely amazing, but despite a great cast the film adaptation is merely average.

A dissapointment for me. It had some interesting moments and ideas. I didn't lke Spacey in this role.

MCT:July 1, 2008I thought it was a well done movie that touched on a lot of stuff while not getting too tied up in itself or dragged out.

not really enough to this one, I felt. beautiful Newfoundland scenery and music and some impressive acting, but the story itself seemed to lack a certain something. the overall journey of self-discovery and the seeking for a second chance just didn't have that connecting link to pull me in. I felt like an uninformed outside observer with knowledge of only a few details. still an entertaining film, it just wasn't QUITE a complete package.

Pretty good movie with heart warming touch. A man makes a journey to self-discovery when he returns to his ancestral home on the coast of Newfoundland. After the death of his estranged wife, Quoyle's fortunes begin to change when his long lost Aunt Agnis convinces him to head north with his daughters. He relocates to the small coastal village of Killick-Claw. Now, in a place where life is as rough as the weather and secrets are as vast as the ocean, Quoyle lands a job as a reporter for the local newspaper. He reports on the shipping news as he simultaneously attempts to adjust to his new life and surroundings. In the course of his new career, he confronts private demons, discovers dark family mysteries and finds love with a lonely single mother who has a secret of her own.
