Living in an area that at one point was strictly seasonal, and still attracts a lot of summer visitors, I could relate to this film. And, as much as I am usually on the other side, I was glad J.C. did not allow himself to be pushed around and came up with a plan to put moneybags in his place. As a local, I don't like visitors coming into town thinking they own the place and test our patience even though we certainly count on their $$$ to survive. What kind of seafood restaurant in a resort area runs out of lobsters anyway? For the most part, I have not had a major problem with most tourists except those that do not know how to drive.

Once about five years ago I was visiting a college friend who lived in Maine, right off the coast. My first night there, after having been told incessantly how good lobster, freshly plucked from the sea is, we head out to a resturant only to discover that they had had a busy day and were out out of lobster until the next morning. I must have laughed my ass off as I thought it was against the state's constitution to be out of lobster in Maine. Anyhow, being Maine, we walked outside took four steps to the left and walked into another resturant that had a bunch of lobsters for the choosing.
