I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Strong and Moving!
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
...and it never will be. But, in its' own way, the movie is rather compelling...mostly, of course, because of the subject matter. The story of the Loch Ness Monster has been told for many years, and this time with a different angle.The movie itself has a slow, laid back feel throughout, and yet has has some action sequences as well. What is surprising is that the all encompassing theme is more of a love story within a love story. I won't explain that, other than say "monster" doesn't really describe the legend.And that becomes the point of the movie in the end...some legends deserve to "live on" as legends...
If you're happy to suspend your disbelief for the duration then this is for you. I'd never heard of it before it popped up on TV yesterday and I figured I liked Ted Danson in Cheers and Joly Richardson isn't exactly chopped liver so I'll watch the first reel and see what happens. Okay, forget looking for the monster if I thought there was a lady as lovely Joley Richardson walking around loose in a small Scottish village I'd light out for bonnie Scotland in jig-time. As several posters have remarked here this is a genuine feel-good entry, sort of Disney-lite, with no swearing, no violence to speak of and an offbeat love story thrown in - in fact the girl bringing her single mom together with a prospect she, the girl has picked out is hardly new and I can trace it back to Natalie Wood brokering a romance between screen mum Maureen O'Hara and husband/stepfather material John Payne in the original Miracle on 34th Street but it's no worse for that.
Having always been in love with the idea of there actually being a monster in Loch Ness, I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Although to this day, i'm unsure whether or not the film makers should have actually shown the monster because the film is good without it! It is a warm and funny story which centres around Ted Danson who plays a character called Dr Dempsey who is sent from America to prove the monster doesn't exist. Whilst he stays on the shore of Loch Ness, he gradually falls in love with the place and the attractive owner (Joely Richardson) of the inn he stays in. The people in the village give him a hard time which also provides a few laughs. The little girl who plays Isabel has some very funny lines and is really cute in the things she says. Having recently finally been to Loch Ness myself, it is worth watching to see all the fabulous scenery again also!
I caught this on the Sci-Fi channel, where it is aired from time to time. Methinks it ought to be shown on the Family Channel, as it is excellent family viewing. And no, there really isn't any sex in it. (But how else was I to get your attention?)Ted Danson, who still seems just like Sam Malone from "Cheers" - only with a bad hair day - is quite winning in the lead role of this film. He plays a rather cantankerous, and somewhat discredited, American anthropologist who is sent to Scotland to disprove the existence of the "Loch Ness Monster". He doesn't (at first, anyway) mix well with the local Scottish residents living near Loch Ness. Eventually he is won over by the dear sweet daughter (Isabel) of the local innkeeper. Her influence on him, along with that of the water bailiff, played by Ian Holm, profoundly change him towards the end of the film. Epiphany in the making.If you value humanity over science, then this film is for you. It is a very enchanting movie that is worth watching. My advice: chill out, take a break from the war on terrorism and go rent this movie and give it a look. You'll be glad you did, and I highly doubt that you will be forced to run to the bathroom to be physically sick as did Aaron Fleming from N. Ireland. (While you're at it, rent another thoroughly enjoyable movie which was also filmed in Scotland, "Local Hero" (1983)).Watch. Reflect. Reconsider your values in life. Then go pour yourself a good scotch.
