“I caught this on the Sci-Fi channel, where it is aired from time to time. Methinks it ought to be shown on the Family Channel, as it is excellent family viewing. And no, there really isnu0026#39;t any sex in it. (But how else was I to get your attention?)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTed Danson, who still seems just like Sam Malone from u0026quot;Cheersu0026quot; – only with a bad hair day – is quite winning in the lead role of this film. He plays a rather cantankerous, and somewhat discredited, American anthropologist who is sent to Scotland to disprove the existence of the u0026quot;Loch Ness Monsteru0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enHe doesnu0026#39;t (at first, anyway) mix well with the local Scottish residents living near Loch Ness. Eventually he is won over by the dear sweet daughter (Isabel) of the local innkeeper. Her influence on him, along with that of the water bailiff, played by Ian Holm, profoundly change him towards the end of the film. Epiphany in the making.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you value humanity over science, then this film is for you. It is a very enchanting movie that is worth watching. My advice: chill out, take a break from the war on terrorism and go rent this movie and give it a look. Youu0026#39;ll be glad you did, and I highly doubt that you will be forced to run to the bathroom to be physically sick as did Aaron Fleming from N. Ireland. (While youu0026#39;re at it, rent another thoroughly enjoyable movie which was also filmed in Scotland, u0026quot;Local Herou0026quot; (1983)).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch. Reflect. Reconsider your values in life. Then go pour yourself a good scotch.”
