      During the sailing scene you can clearly see the tow rope at the bow in several shots. The jib shouldn't be fluttering either.

    Good Acting and Characters. Incomplete Ending.

    This kind of movie has been done many times, but it's still interesting to watch. A lot of well-known older actors make it interesting. The teen is rebellious, but not extreme, or this wouldn't have worked. He wouldn't have changed. The ending was incomplete, however, leaving a lot of unanswered questions.
