The Good Life
During the winter months I find that I sometimes forget the simple pleasures of summer. Like the refreshing sensation that you get when you dip your toes in the water as your feet gently dangle from a dock, or the smell of the campfire that lingers on your clothes for days, bringing back the memories of a good night. Summertime is the best time to grab a bunch of friends and head to your very own oasis — the cottage. I used to go up to one every summer with my family and friends, and we always had a blast. I loved the days of getting a running start before jumping off a dock into the cool Muskoka waters, or cozying up in a sweater as you watch the sunset from the deck with a few good friends.

On the contrary, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was an endearing comedy backed with a lot of heart. The story revolves around five lifelong friends (Sandler, James, Spade, Rock and Schneider) who had gone their separate ways but reunite for one weekend to celebrate the life of their junior high basketball coach (Blake Clark).
