I tried, I really did, to willingly suspend my disbelief to try to squeeze anything valuable from this candy-coated piece of mushy turd.
Zac Effron is gorgeous, no two ways about it. He's a decent actor and in scenes with Charlie Tahan who plays his little brother, both capture the screen with an ease you'll really believe.
And - apart from some stunning pix of the Puget Sound region - that's about it, folks.
There's no charisma between Zac and Amanda Crew. The script was churned out by ScriptRobot on a bad rivet day.
Oh, yeah. There are sailing boats.
If any frame of this film moves you in any direction except toward the Exit sign, there's no hope for you, my friend.
I liked it well enough. It's not a great film by any means, but it has a somewhat charming, dreamy quality. Efron does a reasonable job. The premise could have been fleshed out better though, so to speak.
