This is an excellent movie for families, especially fathers and sons. Rich Brauer does a superb job showing the importance of a parent’s involvement in their kid’s activities. Many parents struggle to find time for their children, due to their strenuous work schedule, and this film shows the immense reward in getting involved. The film also demonstrates how forgiving people are, as Ted doesn’t begrudge his father for walking out thirty years ago.
Viewers will enjoy the different characters in this movie. Laughter will be brought out by an eccentric tugboat captain, and many will be captivated by the “Sleeping Bear” legend. This film also teaches the importance of friendship in the relationships developed between the family and people who helped Mike with his movie. Families will greatly enjoy “That One Summer,” no matter the season.
