Memorable, crazy movie

Great Film overall

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

You had to see the movie to have an opinion, right?Don't you ever advise anyone not to see a movie, whatever movie it is, for how bad it is.Movies are made to be seen by everybody, my friend. Worst than your comment is people who refuse to see movies based on others opinions. If you don't want to give money to see it in a theater, fine. And, god, it's an independent movie! As if movies without budget weren't discriminated enough in the cinema business, there are still people that come and say "Oh, I've seen it. S****, don't watch it! It's a friendly advise!" Hope you're not related to cinema in any way. If I judged every movie by the crew and their personal life's, wouldn't likely see most of Collin Farrel's starring ones! The ones to thank you for that unfortunate comment are ignorants.

This film has to be one of the biggest loads of garbage that I have ever seen. I mean, please... Bon Jovi as an actor? Give me a break! The storyline suggested could have been interesting, but it turned out to be anything but. The whole thing is so overly-dramatic that it's almost humorous. Not to mention how completely unrealistic and implausible it is. The characters are just your typical stereotypes, "the hard-done-by ex-con trying to change his ways", "the criminal-older-brother who tries to lead him back to a life of crime", "the immigrant who is unhappily married"...etc. The outcome was all too predictable. Don't waste your time watching this film. You'll thank me, later.

It's a shame that Row Your Boat did not receive a big theatrical release. It's the kind of quality story that's missing from the local cineplex. Each cast member does an astounding job with his/her character, especially Jon Bon Jovi. He is perfect as the sweet, sensitive, charming, and slightly insecure Jamey Meadows. Row Your Boat is a tale of love and morality. Jamey Meadows is an every day hero, struggling to do right when wrong is pulling at him. This film is one of the few worth the purchase price. It's the rare gem of a movie that will be watched over and over and get recommended to friends, family, and complete strangers at the video store.

Row Your Boat is a drama but includes a lot of humour. Jon Bon Jovi proves yet again that he CAN act. This role was made for him and he is very relaxed playing Jamie Meadows. Jamie is an ex-con(serving time for a crime his brother committed)who upon release finds himself homeless. Promising himself to keep on the straight and narrow, he fights not only society but his brother. Meeting Spring Flower(Bai Ling) he has yet another reason to stay clean. In the end, it all depends on Jamie to do the right thing. Great film - don't miss it!
