A Good, Family Story Pacing is a bit slow
The story concept of "A Lobster Tale" is very interesting. A poor Lobster Fisherman named Cody (Colm Meaney) finds some magic, green gooey substance caught in his lobster net. This "goo" proves to have healing powers. Because he has a limited amount of the magic substance, he and his family must make decisions about who can use it, when, where, and why Therein, begins the family's problems. Suddenly they are most popular people in town, because everybody wants to get a piece of the magic substance. This scenario provides the characters with difficult decisions and ridiculously amusing situations. I though the acting was great. Cody's son (played by Jack Knight) nailed an emotional scene, and other actors rounded out a strong cast Colm Meaney, Alberta Watson (recognized her from "24"), and Graham Greene, who was very funny as a slacker cop. My biggest criticism is that the movie was a little long. The middle section where the townspeople are continually confronting/begging him got very redundant. The pacing definitely could have been sped up through the middle section of the movie. Otherwise, it was a really nice story with some good messages, some emotional moments, and some ironic/understated humor throughout.
a really special film
Wow, was I surprised to read the previous review by "bridgecheri" when I came to IMDb to check out the cast. We saw the film on the same day that review was posted and had a completely different reaction as did the people we were sitting with and those we discussed the film with after the show. My wife and I loved the film and thought it not only entertaining but very well done. I worked as an on set Hair Stylist in Los Angeles for years before moving to Washington and thought "A Lobster Tale" was well directed, had a wonderful story, exceptionally strong performances and was beautifully shot. After reading the two reviews posted on the film, we must say we are in agreement with "azmoviebuff" and would recommend this film.
Terrific film
I saw A Lobster Tale yesterday at the Phoenix Film Festival. It is a terrific film. Colm Meaney, Alberta Watson and Jack Knight are fantastic. There is a great performance also by Graham Greene who was a perfect choice as the sheriff. It is a nice warm family film with a great message...yet has the laugh and cry moments too. I hope it gets picked up for distribution. Highly recommend it! If you are fan of Jericho/the TV show...there is a pivotal role in Lobster Tale played by Erik Knudsen who plays Dale the young store owner on Jericho. I had the pleasure of meeting the director, Adam Massey after the screening for a Q & A. He is one to watch out for, he will be making some great films in the upcoming years.
Great story. Better ending.
A serious low budget film about what a miracle can do to simple normal people. I loved every part of it. The ending was exactly how I pictured a true to life experience in the same situation. Characters evaluate themselves and find the true meaning to giving and receiving. The message in this movie is not hard to see.... It's hard to find other movies that are true to the soul, like this one is. Don't get me wrong, the movie also has some humor that keeps it fresh and exciting as well. I highly recommend the movie to anyone looking to sit back and relax in front of the television.
finally a good family film
Thank God I was able to show my family a film that we could all enjoy. My family and friends feel better for seeing it. I feel proud it was a Canadian that had the courage to put a non blood thirsty, morally enriching film out there.I hope this will encourage other film writers and directors to give us morally uplifting content that will also bring with it humor. We felt like we wanted more. Can we set an example somehow, to encourage this story and others like it .Out of curiosity I went to the directors web sight. Adam Massey. He is diverse and intelligent. A wonderful discovery. Lets hope a film like "A Lobster Tale" will inspire many others. Congratulations!
