4 out of 5 stars Motivation to finish something   November 15, 2002
Do you have kids who lack motivation? This is a movie that can open many doors to their learning experience. You can follow up with two books about Robin Graham and his voyage. Finishing this circumnavigation took a lot of courage and guts. He wanted to quit several times, yet stuck with his dream.
Even though the movie is Hollywood, you can use it to help your kids see the world. They can learn what Robin did, that people can be happy without all the glitz of wealth. Plus no one in the movie gets shot, blown up, or abused. You can't go wrong with this movie about a real person who sailed around the world in a very small sailboat. You can climb a mountain in a week, but this took 4 years to complete. It's worth a look.



4 out of 5 stars sail away   November 13, 2002
While sappy and saccharin the actors are engaging and the story is compelling (as all sea sagas are to me). Actually i found the clumsey acting part of the innocent charm. I own a Ranger 23 the same boat used in the film ( I believe Graham's real life boat was a 24-footer) so this film is especially wonderful to me. One reviewer summed it up well . A great film for a romantic with a sailing fetish. If you like this read Maiden Voyage by Tanya Aebi. Its both a better sea yarn and a better love story and would make a great film.


4 out of 5 stars Good circumnavigation movie for sailors   June 12, 2001
Nice movie, nice scenes, a good watch for sailors


2 out of 5 stars "The Dove" is One-Quarter Whipped Cream   July 14, 2000
J. H. Minde (Boca Raton, Florida and Brooklyn, New York)
THE DOVE is a formulaic and predictable Hollywoodization of Robin Lee Graham's bestselling book, DOVE. Graham was the youngest male sailor to complete a circumnavigation, in a 24 foot sloop.

"The Dove" suffers from too much saccharine and not enough vinegar. While the location shooting is superb, the film hardly lives up to it's storyline, downplaying the dangers and the risks of singlehanded sailing in favor of overkill on the romantic side. The actual passage becomes a pseudodocumentary, mostly lacking in drama, and secondary to the love story. The Grahams'(Robin Lee and Patti's) love story as shown is sickeningly sweet.

The movie is not helped by the fact that neither Bottoms nor Raffin can act their way out of a paper bag. They are saddled with a poor script and truly maudlin dialogue. Rather than being a theatrical release the film has an "Afterschool Special" feel to it.

Despite it's drawbacks, it is well worth watching if you are (1) a sailing fanatic who can't get enough of boats, (2) stuck inside the house on a rainy day (with or without the kids) with nothing much to do, and (3) a reader of DOVE who is familiar with the story.

THE DOVE is harmless, enjoyable fluff.


1 out of 5 stars The dove falls short   January 7, 2000
R. D. Hill (Seattle WA)
Sadly disapointing. I have often seen this movie compared to the movie Wind; but, it doesn't even come close. The off-shore storm sailing scenes look really fake, and the dialogue and soundtrack are terrible. The only thing similar to Wind (a movie I love) is the weak love story. Save your money and rent this one first.
