This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's difficult for me to say this because I'm such a fan of most all of the actors in this film, but I found it laughably bad, boring, and riddled with cliches. Yes, let's drop into the 60's and focus on a middle-aged free-thinking father who is compelled by his personal progressive ethic to sleep with his under-aged daughter's life long best friend on a boat within arm's reach of his daughter so she can fully drink in the sounds of her pal's moaning. Ugh. As the Angry Samoans would say, "Poke Poke Poke Your Eye's Out!." Fanning and Hendricks doing the English accents didn't go down well at all. And sitting in the theater watching Fanning's character pitifully cry while her idiot father rationalizes his behavior is a bit of torture. Not sure why so many critics resonated with this film.
