The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
A story about a young man who gets enough of his life in the city with unsatisfying job and returns back to his parents. He meets people of his past, makes a list of things he wants to do in his life and goes through it together with his friend Mac.It may start slowly, but with the time I was falling in love with it. It was pretty funny to see all the things they have done, which included making a great movie and be in a great band. And when we got to see why Adam was doing it, it gave the movie a bit more of a meaning.I really liked the acting as well. I checked on the work of main characters and it is pretty sad that they didn't do much acting after it. The characters were very well developed.It is not a Hollywood movie, there are no special effects, but it is a good movie to watch and I recommend it to people who like to see a good story for a light entertainment
A solid, bleakly humorous script backed by good direction and an awesome soundtrack make for an enjoyable and (for me) almost painfully true to life film. Adam Stevenson is a neurasthenic social misfit. He's good hearted but kinda wussy. An unpleasant event at work triggers his return to the family home and his parents, who have little emotional connection to him. Adam runs into a trouble-making high school acquaintance, Mac, and after he sees a self-help jackass on TV go on about making lists, Adam decides with Mac's help to relive his life according to a better script than he's been given so far. He makes a list of cool things he wants to do and then, without being too much of a perfectionist about it (the 'Make a Great Movie' scene cracked me up) - he does them.I was about a third of the way through the film before I realized it was Canadian. That's how good it is. Yes, I know that's a backhanded compliment, but a lot of Canadian movies suffer from "I am a very earnest but amateurish labor of love" disease. This is not an amateurish movie.Michael Stasko as Adam and Daniel Wilson as Mac carry the movie ably. This movie deserves better than 4.8 stars. All the bit parts are well cast, and the score is a star in its own right. Recommended for when you want to watch a buddy movie with no car chases or gunfights.
After seeing this film you start to think about the things that you would have liked to have completed. My list is long and I know that it would have been fun just trying to complete any part of the list. I know that everyone has some kind of list but just, can not find the time to begin. Also we all have a neighbour like Mr. Farston. Theadore had a great idea when he and his partner Gerry wrote the screen play, they came up with a solution that worked. That in itself shows that a disturber liked what he saw and knew the public would also. You can go to your local Blockbuster store and rent the movie. So please take a look at another Canadian Independent Film and then make your own list ......
One of the best little Indie's I've ever seen. I saw in a little theater in Utah a while back, and I had a chance a little while ago to see at the Bloor st. Cinema's, still loved it. And now I own it via blockbuster's "no late fee" policy. Now I enjoy it whenever I want to. I recommend everyone to see this at least once, and definitely come and put your vote down into this web site. This is a great little film that needs to be seen. You can rent this at Blockbuster already in the festival section across Canada. I hope this film gets distribution in the rest of North America. Wonderful film. Go see it. Go see it, a must see good for the whole family.
