"The Shipping News" with Kevin Spacey

[MomAndSkoorbaby]

Has anyone else seen it? I ask as I am from Newfoundland, where the movie supposedly takes place although the majority of the filming was done in Nova Scotia, where I now live. The scenery was of Newfoundland though...and was beautiful!

Just wondering if people have seen it and what did they think? The book was something awful. I could hardly finish it and only did on principle.

I find it interesting that it was rated in the top 10 in Canada, but very low in the US. But I will see it eventually since I like most Spacey movies.
