Not easy to enjoy

I would say that this movie didn´t feel easy to watch for me - the whole fishing topic, bunch of olf men..but the storyline overall was an exciting experience. Althought I could not fully enjoy it because of its topic, overal eperience was quite nice, and not bad. If you are open to watch new things, this movie is great for you.

Unremarkable end to great career

Michael Douglas's last film before his retirement, and a sad way to end his great career.I've seen dozens of made for TV films like this, and all this films with with older actors and young actors playing them in the psst are getting tiresome. Half of the films Diane Keaton made in the last 20 years had a young actress playing her younger self.This however was in a class of its own. When a flashback scene started, I was literally shocked. First of all actress who plays his daughter looks like she is past 45. I googled her, yes, she was born in 1977. The flashback starts before her character was born, but it doesn't look even remotely like the 70s. Right away character has mobile phone which didn't come in production till 1983, and what we see is not an early model. It does not look like 80s either, thats not 80s fashions, and definitely not 80s hair. It looked more like the 90s That away, the story was extremely predictable.

Very Enjoyable Old Man's Yarn

A seemingly incorrigible and belligerent young teen is pushed by his mother to spend the day with his grandfather (Michael Douglas) in his fishing boat. Shades of On Golden Pond.It turns out that Douglas, telling the tale of a much younger version of himself, had taken over his father's business successfully, only to have a meltdown after five years. At the meltdown, Barry Livingston (Ernie from My Three Sons 50 years ago) is hilarious in a small bit playing the moderator trying unsuccessfully to calm the situation. At his emotional nadir, our hero gets a call from his estranged father to enter a fishing contest with him in some remote island off the coast of South America and for reasons within himself that he doesn't understand, he agrees.David Morse plays the father. His take on this well-written and developed character is brilliant. The relationship between father and son develops in unexpected ways and gradually includes another young man (Cameron Douglas) that turns out to be more important than the younger version of Michael Douglas could have imagined.Interspersed between this story, of course, are interludes with the grandson and learning more about his angst while doing some fishing. Although we've seen this before, this version is worth seeing anyway.There are lots of funny and delightful surprises along the way.For an unheralded film I knew nothing about, I was delightfully entertained and still think about it two weeks later. This is very much worthy of recommending. Lots of fun.
