Just had a hair cut, and reflected in the mirror, from a small TV on the other side of the room, was waht looked like a film trailer for a sailing film.

Could not see it properly, but it looks like it features either an Open 60 or 50, a chick, some sailing, and a bloke played by someone called Zac (as I said, it was all backwards!)

Anyone know what it is, is it worth seeing or is it Howard's Way meets Hollywood?

Chick Flick.

IMDB said:
Charlie St. Cloud is a young man overcome by grief at the death of his younger brother. So much so that he takes a job as caretaker of the cemetery in which his brother is buried. Charlie has a special lasting bond with his brother though, as he can see him. Charlie meets up with his brother (Sam) each night to play catch and talk. Then, a girl comes into Charlie's life and he must choose between keeping a promise he made to Sam, or going after the girl he loves.
Film adaptation of this book;

Sounds like an old film called "Wind"

Not a bad sailing movie

ETA: Looks like I'm wrong, but Wind still looks like a better film

Thank you thank you thank you thank you. Just watched the trailer and it looks like you just saved me from two hours of sheer hell plus me getting ejected from the cinema for throwing my popcorn at the screen whilst screaming "you cant just cut inside him smart ass because you don't have water at the fking mark".

If anyone tells the other half that there's a chick flick featuring open 60s and please please please can we go I'll chuck my popcorn at them too. Hopefully the prospect of me perving over an Open 60 plus it's highly talented brunette hottie skipper will convince her that it's a crap idea to go.

Thank you again.

(Come to think of it, is there any point in watching the film because the trailer makes it pretty fking obvious what happens anyway...)
