The movie stars Ellen Page (Juno, X Men The Last Stand), Sandra Oh (Sideways, Grey's Anatomy tv, Rabbit Hole), Paul Gross (Eastwick tv, Men with Brooms), Maury Chaykin (Dances With Wolves, Being Julia).
The plot of the movie revolves around the residents of a small island town in Canada. Oh is a work obsessed realtor married to a cop Gross who had a brief affair wit Pages mom who has had a series of bad realtionships and just moved back to the island. There is a scandel about a golf course being planned by the corrupt mayor Chaykin who is stirring up trouble with a scandel of gays and drug use at the future site of the course.
The movie is all about the flawed people of this small island community. The writting and acting are very good. Some of the flaws are self induced and some of the trouble is external. The movie just works. I dont know if there is much of a plot but the people are connected enough to make it worth the time to watch. I am not a good judge about movies being good for kids but this one I would say is for older kids.
Im rating this movie as a B+ or A-.
