The Lightkeepers is a film about two men, each running away from his past and finding solace at a lighthouse in 1912 Cape Cod. Writer-director Daniel Adams tells the story of Seth (Richard Dreyfuss), an ornery ex-sailor and self-proclaimed woman hater who ran away from his old life to live by the sea. He wants nothing more than to smoke his pipe and keep the lighthouse flame burning bright. It’s hard to dislike this film given the romantic and charming nature of the story, but with a cliche-ridden screenplay, Adams strains for quaintness and whimsy and instead opts for static predictability, while most of the narrative gets bogged down with exposition digested...
