Perhaps the characters are a bit underwritten, but this is a feel good film that is not wildly ambitious.

Reviews for The View From Greenhaven
It's not designed to leave audiences rolling in the aisles, but it will put a smile on your face and make its way into your heart.
Wendy Hughes and Chris Haywood are good in the lead roles but the supporting characters -- an assortment of bubbly tourists and small-town eccentrics -- just aren't original or interesting enough.
The MacRaes direct with a sure enough hand for The View From Greenhaven to feel like an accomplished debut.
The gentle toughness of the subject is perhaps deceptive, as the Macrae brothers embark on a story about a man who has shut down three decades ago and has just about used up all the leeway his family is prepared to give him.
I loved every minute of this instantly involving film in which our hearts smile, weep and turn corners just like the train that carries its passengers to its mystery destination.
