... View MoreA gorgeous film. The scenes of the Cayman Islands are lush and inviting. The story has an expected outcome but nevertheless is quite pleasing in its development. The conflict between the big city slicker who tries to lure a second-rate actor with a failing TV series into duping the locals into parting with their beautiful natural land is true to form. How our hero has a change of heart is the core of the plot. His turnaround is what drives the film, nobly aided by the raw beauty of the Islands. The camera work and sound track add extra oomph to this film. There are some surprises that add to the film's novelty. I was very impressed with the stunning color and want to go to the Cayman Islands "in person". I want to be a part of nature as it exists there. I think that is the strength of this film. It's a feel good movie for all ages.

View MoreI am a chick who tends to avoid joyful, non-violent films but I did and would again and again make an exception for Cayman Went.I saw Cayman Went at the AMC Empire 25 in Times Square over the weekend and am going back to see it again tonight. There is something so intriguing to me about this film.The story follows the hottie hero Michael Lombardi who is a flailing TV star on the brink of losing his show. He is solicited by the magnate who owns the network to convince some Cayman Brac locals to sell their land to the magnate for development in to a mega-resort. After spending some time with the locals, our hero hooks into the island lifestyle and learns a lot about himself and those around him along the way.The serenity of the Cayman Brac beaches, the underwater landscapes, the eye-catching hero and the chemistry he has with the female lead, the charisma of Jeffrey Demunn, the adorableness of the film's child star, the upbeat soundtrack, the subtle message of the film...it somehow all comes together for me.Enjoy!
... View MoreI saw this indie film in New York with family and a few friends over the weekend and we all enjoyed it. The island and underwater diving scenes were gorgeous and the acting from the "Rescue Me" guy, Jeff DeMunn (also loved him in Citizen X and all the Stephen King ones), and the rest of the cast was solid and pleasant. Everyone laughed in spots and almost everyone teared up watching parts of it too. My wife and I also liked the subtle environmental message it sends to kids and developers alike. After seeing the movie I can say I would love to live on that island or at least hang out there and scuba dive with the locals (time to renew my certification I guess).
