Jeremy (Josh Jackson) follows Weldon Parish (oscar nominated Harvey Keitel) to it-lee and asks him to come out of retirement and write a book. But Parish is done with writing. He pull all kinds of tricks to get Jeremy to just go home, but he's not buying it. He meets Parish's daughters, and maybe together they can convince (trick ?) Parish to start writing again. A silly song and dance number while Jeremy daydreams about one of the daughters. The daughter is quite pretty, but i guess they couldn't get the rights to Elvis' version of Now or Never, as they have someone who sounds JUST like him sing it....according to the soundtrack link. Anyway, that bit was just silly, and didn't add anything. About halfway through, the film just grinds to a halt while we admire the scenery and beauty of it-lee. Parish starts daring Jeremy to come out of his comfort zone, and he sings karaoke with Parish and his friends. But of course, it's Jeremy that wants to take Parish out of HIS comfort zone and start writing. It's all okay. The writer keeps taking it to a cutesy, silly place. You may recognize Giancarlo Giannini (the priest)... he has been in several james bond films! Written and directed by Brad Mirman. And Keitel currently has FIVE projeccts in production.
