Amazon.com John Huddles tries hard to charm audiences with his modest little American indie comedy about a kooky British clan on a sprawling northern California estate. Rufus Sewell is the would-be family entrepreneur on a financial losing streak ready to sink the last of his fortune on a failed manganese mine. His girlfriend (Minnie Driver) can't talk him out of the doomed venture and his brother is busy getting back to nature, so eccentric uncle Nigel Hawthorne climbs down from his spiritual cloud to knock some sense into his nephew: "His karma was constipated. I gave him an enema." Executive producers Driver and Hawthorne were surely drawn to the sweetly offbeat characters and hopeful message of healing in the script, but Huddles's stylistic gymnastics distract from the comedy's gentle pace and simple tone, and even these engaging performers can't buoy the film through the phony contrivances of the feel-good finale. The film has previously been released under the names At Sachem Farm and Higher Love. --Sean Axmaker

AN UNDISCOVERED INTELLIGENT LITTLE GEM OF A MOVIE December 10, 2009 Lectora Classica (San Diego County, CA) You've already read all the customer reviews, so I cannot for the life of me understand why this little gem of the a movie is not longer available on DVD.
Great performances by the likes of Nigel Hawthorne, Minnie Driver and Rufus Sewell.
Funny, intelligent and uplifting screenplay.
Beautiful locale.
Fantastic soundtrak.
If I were you, I would snap up one of the last remaining six used DVD's sooner rather than later. I just did.
Uncorked July 12, 2009 C. Benyi I found this movie to be thoroughly enjoyable. It was quirky, but in a very clever and pleasant way. It was so refreshingly different from standard Hollywood fare. Rufus Sewell did an outstanding job in creating the charactor "Ross" in the movie, and the rest of the cast were quite good in their roles too. I consider this movie to be a hidden treasure but I hope it will be discovered by more people who will take time to appreciate the talent of the actors who conveyed so much not only through the dialog but so amazingly through their facial expressions. It will be a real treat for the discerning viewer.
Uncorked March 12, 2009 Stephen L. Carr Jr. I love this movie. That is why I spent the extra money to buy it when it has gone out of print. I am glad some stores still carry it!
Uncorked indeed! February 13, 2009 Nancy Solman This is a movie that absolutely everyone should see, perhaps even, several times.
Loved it!!!
Off-beat, but poorly done January 25, 2008 EugeSchu (WI USA) This movie does have a refreshing philosophical perspective, but it's not executed well. A lot of the dialogue is plodding or obvious. The characters have no chemistry, relationship twists seem surreal, and the waste and extravagance is enormous for so called "enlightened" souls.
The movie is too long and repetitive and ultimately predictable.
