"Carmel-by-the-Sea"
MOVIE SYNOPSIS:
Carmel-by-the-Sea follows a 15-year-old art prodigy Joshua (Josh Hutcherson), abandoned by his drug-addicted mother in Carmel-by-the-Sea, a small town in northern California known internationally for its local art community. He is discovered for his own artistic talent and taken in by two apparently opposite mentors played by Alfred Molina and Lauren Bacall. While being mentored, Joshua is introduced to the high dollar, underground world of art forgery. Joshua’s love interest is played by Hayden Panettiere.

Get your tickets now almost sold out.
We were so excited to see the movie and had such high hopes... but what a terrible disappointment. Beautiful scenery of course, but what a poor script and characters you just could not believe in. So sad and I am sure it will only ever make it to DVD.
The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel is a modern, state-of-the-art facility. Its 360-seat theater and more intimate 100-seat theater are well suited for local and regional groups. Move over Sunset Center, the Carmel Center for the Performing Arts has entered stage left, right and center.
The movie was good, very good in many ways. The scenery was fantastic, as was much of the acting. The story was compelling. The opening scene was brilliant (with the young artist played by Josh Hutchinson pulling off a memorable con to set tone and pace for the rest of story). Minor characters and major stars all performed well. The editing of the film could use a bit of work before full release, but it should do well in theaters.
