I have lived in Portland, Oregon since 1981. Last night I viewed The River Why.
I have not read the book and, in fact, may do so having now seen the film. While I don't think this is a life changing experience, I did find the movie charming and loved the cinematography and the scenery of Oregon. The actors all do a good job and the film is thoughtful. The score is also well done. Watch the credits and you will hear a lovely version of "Fishing Blues".
I would definitely recommend a viewing of this heartwarming film. Again do not expect anything earthshaking here but an enjoyable time.
