Lucy Coleman is struggling to keep the family together after the death of her mother. Her brother Josh has turned mute. Her father Charlie has money issues. Then a strange man suddenly shows up with news that her late mother had inherited a beach house in Mauritius and offers to buy the rundown place off their hands. She insists on seeing it and convinces her father to hold off selling it.
The general sense of this movie is that this is a sweet story but the acting is a little weak. I guess sweet and weak is also an apt description of the dad who is the most frustrating and also the lead actress. The lead girl is not terrible but lacks the acting power to carry a whole movie. This would be fine as an early 2000 Disney TV movie. At least, it has a good location and a bit of nice underwater diving.
