The Magic of Belle Isle 2012


     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)

109 min, Drama directed by Rob Reiner with Morgan Freeman, Virginia Madsen, Kenan Thompson, Emma Fuhrmann, Madeline Carroll, Nicolette Pierini, C.J. Wilson, Ash Christian.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.6 out of 10, 29% critic 56% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
