If you're a Gerard Butler fan, this film wll not disappoint you. He brings a likeable warmth to the role he portrays, and his good looks don't hurt either. The story is well written, and the acting is excellent...especially the young boy, who in the part of a deaf child, does a great job without any speaking lines. I would recommend this movie to everyone, and I certainly am happy to have purchased it for my own DVD collection.
Great film with good characters and story, about a mother trying to do the best by her young son. Highly recommended watching

I decided to buy this DVD because I was born and brought up in and around the Greenock area where this was filmed. I recognised many of the locations despite the fact that it's been 30 yrs since I moved over the border to live in England. The lovely misty quality in the river scenes and the walk along the esplanade was quite beautiful. Top marks for the choice of locations and the way they were portrayed. The town scenes I feel were filmed in the city, Glasgow. The storyline itself was a beautiful story of love between a mum and her deaf son. , and her staunchly loyal mother. A lovely story unfolded with many good characters emerging. The casting of the various characters was excellent in the choice of actors. Who could fail to love Frankie? The 'stranger' played by Gerald Butler was perfect. He kept the sense of mystery throughout and left me wondering ' what happened next....? ' a few unexpected twists in the story did not detract from the charm and gave it a sense of depth. No sex, violence or bad language, just a touching story gently and very well told. Deserves to be more widely known as this is a real gem of a film.Read full review
