The film tells the story of Streep's character and her family taking a rafting trip in the Midwest.
"The movie is really about rafting on an amazing river in Montana," O'Leary says. "The rowing part introduces Meryl Streep's character when she's in Boston."
Local filming took less than a week.
"[The filming] happened in the summer, so no one really knew about it at all," Hatton says. "They filmed for about four days here in Boston, [but no one was around]."
Radcliffe rowers say they are happy to have their program receive acknowledgments for O'Leary's participation in the film.

"There was a credit at the end of the movie saying, 'Special thanks to Radcliffe Crew and Weld Boathouse,'" Allen says. "That was cool."
