Monte is a famous author but since he
became wheelchair-bound, he has become a curmudgeon. He goes to the island of Belle Isle for a couple of months
to drink and soak in his own juices.
The family next door is the opposite of Monte, a single mom with three
daughters. Gradually a friendship
develops between Monte and the family.
Very quiet, smoothly goes along unfolding
the story. No surprises but
enjoyable. Slightly into Hallmark country. 3 ½* (I liked this
movie)
