I thought the acting was impeccable. I especially liked Kip Pardue who has a gentle, winning way about him that might get him past the most rabid skin head. Ann Owens Pierce was also outstanding in a small but important role. But the story itself fails to convince at a couple of critical points. Still, by then, you will likely feel like forgiving these movie makers their missteps as they will have impressed you with quite a few good choices and their heart warming commitment.
If you go, don't expect too much (the reference to loggerheads is only minimally developed, for example). You will be taken through some affecting, new territory as well as more familiar issues done in a refreshing way. I found the movie's take on North Carolina beach life pretty attractive, and it left me wondering as to its accuracy.
