Most Stable Canoe in the World

Seemed totally fake when she stood on the edge of the canoe and it leaned about a quarter-inch on that side. Then when he jumped off the canoe it should have kicked backward according to the laws of physics but just stayed in the spot where it was screwed down. Then when they rolled her husband's body out the canoe did not tip to that side.

Plus when he first turned the canoe over, it was too clean for a canoe just left at the lake. Of course he may have come earlier and scrubbed it out if he planned on taking a sweet piece like her out there that night.

Nope, this is hilarious. I had a great laugh watching that canoe barely register the full weight of a human standing on one gunwale. Thanks, mate!

It's not really explained, but the lake is actually so full of the bodies of murdered spouses that the water is only 2 inches deep. The canoe doesn't move because it's sat on a big mound of husbands.

I have a theory: One can be either Romantic or Technical, but one cannot be both. Ed Harris is HOT. Madeline is totally captivating. I love the lake scene. I am a Romantic, I suppose. but lol, hawaiianshirt 79...

I was hoping she'd do a cannonball.

The canoe was on solid ground. One of the goofs in the movie was when Kyle rowed, it stayed still. They needed that lighting for the moon maybe and didn't want them to drift.
