Since I live on the island where they filmed the movie I had the opportunity to attend a private screening. The movie is really more of a character study of the various people involved in the story, it really focused on their lives and thoughts. I thought that John Sayles did a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life. The movie was also very funny and witty which made the characters a lot easier to relate to. The only problem that I had with the film was that they left you hanging on some of the characters. I felt like I never got closure on several of the characters lives; they were just left out of the ending. Overall, I would recommend this film to anyone who loves a good laugh and especially to those who live in Florida and understand the conflicts that are arising with the increasing price of property and of big companies that are trying to buy out the 'little' people.
