I saw A Lobster Tale yesterday at the Phoenix Film Festival. It is a terrific film. Colm Meaney, Alberta Watson and Jack Knight are fantastic. There is a great performance also by Graham Greene who was a perfect choice as the sheriff. It is a nice warm family film with a great message...yet has the laugh and cry moments too. I hope it gets picked up for distribution. Highly recommend it! If you are fan of Jericho/the TV show...there is a pivotal role in Lobster Tale played by Erik Knudsen who plays Dale the young store owner on Jericho. I had the pleasure of meeting the director, Adam Massey after the screening for a Q & A. He is one to watch out for, he will be making some great films in the upcoming years.

Go see this movie!

I have been an IMDb addict for years, since it's inception. This is the first time I have written a review. SO here goes... I am a Broadway fan, have seen Rent in NYC and anybody who loves Broadway Musicals in general needs to see this movie. It is faithful to the genius of Jonathan Larson's vision, it contains nearly all the Original Broadway Cast. It is simply amazing to see any Motion Picture that has one Tony Award Winning Voice in it, much less this one has two (and a host of nominated voices as well). I was singing to myself through the whole thing. TO anyone out there that is dissing this movie...I say how often can you get actual chemistry between actors, first rate quality talent, a movie that makes you laugh and cry, a great story, a great thought provoking message and beautiful visuals in a movie? Appreciate this movie and what Chris Columbus did if you like the genre. Yes, not everyone wants to see people walking down the street and breaking into song...this movie isn't for them. It was made for millions of others who do appreciate this type of film. It was well crafted and I will personally see it again and again, as well as buy it on DVD. Viva la vie Boheme! Kudos to the entire cast, you should be proud of this first rate achievement. If no nominations or awards follow...I would say you were robbed. Thanks for making this rent-head a happy one!
