I 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).

Easy Money
(1983)
Rodney and Joe Pesci Rule the screen!
21 December 2004
The funniest film I have ever seen (29 viewings and counting)! Rodney's overall lifestyle as a married with two daughters Staten Island baby photographer who happens to drink, gamble, go to strip bars and get late night diner food with his best pal Nicky Marino (played by Oscar winner Joe Pesci), is unlike anything I've seen before and since. His struggles to live without his vices in order to collect the "easy money" are hilarious and include dealing with his daughter's slimy Puerto Rican boyfriend Julio and having to photograph a bratty child while still going through withdrawal. Pesci is a cross between his Good Fellas and Lethal Weapon 2 characters and has never been funnier.
This is a companion film for anyone who liked Caddyshack.
