Features a superb performance in the lead role, a strong supporting cast, very good cinematography and, most of all, emotional authenticity.Full Review

TV Guide

Wright is a find, while Rowe may surprise those who dismissed him as a Brad Pitt look-alike when he first came to attention in "Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss." Here, Rowe displays new authority and confidence, as if lately he's been looking in the mirror and seeing himself, rather than that other, more famous blond.Full Review

A pleasant romantic drama that works best when focused on the romance -- or on the waves, since the principal characters spend a lot of time surfing.Full Review
