As soon as I laid my eyes on the movie that was playing on TV, the way the characters looked like was very appealing. I was also quite impressed by how different the film was, compared to other films, in general. I'm quite pleased to have seen it from start to finish. During the film's events, the owner of an Inn, and her son, are BOTH facing a difficult situation in their respective lives: Kerstin Hawkins is facing the stresses of a foreclosure on the mortgage on her Inn, while her son, Jim, has difficulty with a bully of his own, Todd Moehner.
However, the arrival of Captain Charles Johnson, a pirate who wants to help Kerstin and Jim basically changes everyone's lives.
The film's soundtrack is quite pleasant to hear, though, it can trigger someone to cry, if they go too deep into it.
My hope is that they're working on a sequel to this film, as I've established earlier, this film easily stands out from films produced from this day and age, where Special Effects tell the story more than the characters. I'm very happy that while they did use Special Effects, that they did so only when necessary. If I were to give my two cents for aspiring filmmakers, it would be to follow this film's example. When I watch a film, I watch it for the story that is intended, NOT for just remembering brief moments, where the characters portrayed are basically pushed aside by Special Effects - something this film beautifully avoids. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just start watching it on Netflix for even a few minutes, if you have a subscription.
In my opinion, while I agree that the characters might slip a few profanities, that, too, is quite rare. You can tell it's not very frequent. The actors make their respective characters sound quite real and authentic. For example, one character falls in some really cold water, and his reaction in the film sounds basically like how someone would sound if they actually fell in cold water. I mean, if you were to fall into icy cold water, you'd probably let a few profanities slip, rather than watching what you say. Additionally, during the scene where the woman calls the man a "s-o-b", that's basically the only time a profanity has been used to address someone directly, and a well-deserved profanity. Again, it's one of those times when a profanity would be warranted - as we don't hold back when dealing with people who oppose us. I'm not saying cursing is the best habit to pick up. However, due to the minimal amount of it, I can imagine myself showing any kid I would bring into the world, and saying "Ok. See how they said a bad word, just now? The reason why is this and this, which is what makes it OK.". If the profanities were at the same magnitude as Sausage Party, for instance, then, I'd have doubts about the film's quality. However, it's not that frequent.
One last point that I'd like to make is that this film takes place in Canada, and I'm quite fond of my country. I found it quite nice to learn some facts about my nation. To my knowledge, there aren't all that many films that take place in Canada, and who also provide some factual information about this great nation.
All in all, this is a memorable film that I will recommend that I watch with my sister, when she comes to visit.
