A Rising Tide (2015)

A Rising Tide: Directed by Ben Hickernell. With Hunter Parrish, Ashley Hinshaw, Tim Daly, Jonathan Togo. An inspirational story of redemption, A Rising Tide tells the tale of a young chef, Sam Rama (Hunter Parrish). After the destruction of his family’s well-established Atlantic City restaurant during Hurricane Sandy, Sam must grow up quickly, taking the biggest risks of his life, both in business and love. When Sam comes to the aid of a wealthy patron (Tim Daly) and then falls for the newly separated Sarah Bell (Ashley Hinshaw), a chain of unexpected events unfolds for all of them, as they discover the only way to achieve their dreams may be to acknowledge what they owe to others, and realize that the greatest investments take more than cash.

“A Rising Tide is a heartwarming but not cheesy story about how if life tries to get you down itu0026#39;s worth it to try and get up again. This movie also subtly showcases how hard times can bring people together. In addition, I really liked the love story. Sam is not too pushy or macho and Sarah doesnu0026#39;t let him get away with unacceptable behavior. The acting and dialogue was also really good.”
