Mac OS X Finder Opening a file

Ok, either Mac OS X has some serious Applescript problems, or I'm overlooking something. I can't even get the Finder to launch a file!

Tell application "Finder"
Open file filepath
End tell

This does nothing! I've tried changing the path to start with "/", tried using slashes instead of ":", but nothing. Is scripting the Finder totally broken?
