One of my all time favorites.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A beautiful film of self-discovery through a journey throughout Canada. The only problem was the weird narration which is for the most part supposed to be humorous but just kills every moment the film had. Just remove the narration part and we'll get a great film out of this.

What would you do if you knew you only had a week to live? Based on the tag-lines alone I was worried about viewing this movie. I was quite pleasantly surprised. One Week is a beautiful simple film about discovering what's really important in life. Ben Tyler, portrayed with depth & grace by Joshua Jackson, has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. His reaction to this life altering news is not to jump immediately into treatment, instead he chooses to purchase a (beautiful) vintage motorcycle & head out across Canada. He takes a trek of self discovery from Toronto in the East all the way West to Tofino on Vancouver Island. This unexpectedly uplifting film is both a study on the human condition & a love letter to Canada itself. The breathtaking scenery is a character all its own & the soundtrack of wonderful Canadian talent flows elegantly throughout. The ending is just ambiguous enough for you to draw your own conclusions. It left me feeling hopeful and strangely renewed. It has become one of my favorite movies. Just lovely.

This movie was complete crap. Tried way to hard to be artsy, a Wes Anderson rip-off. The pretentious narrator became annoying very quickly as well as the crap coffeehouse music. It really wasn't realistic or believable that the lead character had cancer. Halfway through the movie you begin to actually want Ben to die just so this awful movie would end. The ending was even more terrible when you realize the annoying narrator is Ben.(Who looks nothing like his younger counterpart) This movie would have been one hundred times better if they cut out all the terrible actors and made a five minute nature documentary on Canada. Horrible movie do not watch, I feel way dumber after watching this.

This film fell out of the sky for me just before I learned of a life-long friend's short-term diagnosis of stomach cancer.I must have read a mini-review of "One Week," rented it and then mistakenly stuffed it in a coat pocket with another rental. Only when I misplaced my specs did I find the two rentals when looking for (and finding) my glasses. What a nice reward.I was immediately captivated by Joshua's character and the script. It was not the typical slightly-better-than an old TV movie-of-the-week spiel. And hey, I've enjoyed those, but we've all been there and sniffled over that, e.g. "Terms of Endearment."I've got a once-terminal disease which killed my partner 18 years ago. Despite all its gloominess, AIDS has taught me how to help others heal and lean into what can be a "good departure," no matter what the disease or situation. This flick shows much of that humility and spirit. I'm recommending it to my friend to consider viewing, especially since I recall about 35 years ago when he and his cousin did a cross-the-States journey. Since I moved to Seattle a dozen years ago, I've wanted to travel more in Canada. This not only satisfies some of that urge but is helping me plan for a cross-Canada trip.
