Rating: - A Sheepshead Bay/Gerritsen Beach Movie Treasure...for many reasons.
Buy or rent the movie! Anyone who lived in or grew-up the Sheepshead Bay/Gerritsen Beach area of Brooklyn will find this a genuine treat...and a good film, as well. A good story about real people, shot on location at the real Jorden's Lobster House on Knapp Street, in what is considered by many a 'rural' area of Brooklyn, it depicts the life of a family-owned several generations wholesale lobster business and the sorrow and pain of the encrouching real estate values escalation, with all its unfeeling consequences.

A fine cast of professional actors, several of whom have Brooklyn in their blood, make the film tug at you in the right areas. The reality of the characters trying to untangle and preserve their own lives and and see their hands-on business move innto the future is well written, acted and directed.

It was especially touching to me since my young nephew used to work there during his high school years. He was killed in World Trade Center Tradedy and the film was dedicated to his memory; although he was not part of the story. In truth, his own story is a glimpse of growing up in Brooklyn under tough circumstances, in a difficult family situation, and yet becoming an exceptional human being. It has all the qualities only a true story can present. Brooklyn has that way about it...unlike any place else in the world.
