Synopsis

The Melville Boys is a Canadian classic that has long been a favorite across the country. When brothers Lee and Owen Melville decide to spend a quiet weekend away at their family cabin on the lake, they meet local sisters Loretta and Mary, whose arrival shifts the course of the entire trip. Over the following 48 hours, the four get to know each other and challenge each other, as they question the choices they’ve made during this transitional time of their lives. Filled with humorous banter, big personalities, and authentically real monologues, The Melville Boys is a heart-warming comedy perfect for a night out!
