Group, Amazon.com has 26 DVD used copies from .55 to 3.50 and new from 13.00 -- pleanty available. VHS tapes from 11.00 for new, and used available also. Parts of this movie was made in New Bedford, NewPort, and Mattapoisett, and the scenes are good, but the story is pretty lame, If your familiar with the South coast area of Mass, you will recognize many sights, but as I said the story is draggy. It made quite a splash when it was premiered here, and many went to see it, and it was nice to have a Portuguese theme.
