Morgan Freeman stars in this gentle comedy about a writer in search of his talent.  After a successful career, he is struggling with writer’s block and too much hard drinking.  Unbeknownst to him, salvation is around the corner when he takes a lakeside cabin for the summer in picturesque Belle Isle, and befriends the family next door. Virginia Madsen (best known from Sideways) co-stars as an attractive single mom with three young daughters who help him find inspiration again.  Directed by Rob Reiner (When Harry Met Sally), the film is a sweet, warm story of newfound friendship and redemption.

“A sensuous appreciation of lazy summer days...The magic of the title emanates from the beautiful, measured performances of its stars.”
