GamerTab That was an excellent one.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Samiam3 Undergoing some girl trouble, Joshua Jackson hops on his bike for a cross country trip through Canada. A friend once told me that this is a trip that everyone should do once in their life, to make you realize how big the world actually is. This low budget, 90 minute, comedy drama fails to convey such a feeling of grandeur. It not actually a bad movie, just a bland one.It is bland not just narratively but visually. The sky is always cloudy, and the sights are relatively mundane; sometimes even tacky. The camera is turned less towards scenery and more toward the kind giant beaver statues and wax tomem poles next to a road side diner. Jackson gives a one note performance with no motivation. Liane Balaban, as the humble abandoned girlfriend does a better job earning empathy. She seems far more lost that he does. The few emotional moments in the film feel authentic, but the odds attempts at humour fall flat. Jackson reaches the pacific ocean that the end of his journey, and gets to Kayak in the brief company of a whale. Moments like this might have made the trip worthwhile if there were more of them. Instead the overall experience is too mellow and unremarkable.

ian-82186 I've had cancer, in my 20s. This movie has never failed to move me to tears. It has never failed to capture the complexity of the decisions ( as a bollock cancer survivor). And it's Canada - one of the most gorgeous places in the world. And it's Josh Jackson, who does an amazing job. And.... Basically, this movie is a tear-jerker, but a good one. Or even a great one. From a more critical perspective, it's a rather slow movie that generally focuses more on video montages than plot, and whose characters are pretty 2D. At times you wonder if the Canadian tourist industry paid for it. Actually, I'm stuck at this point. It's still great. The voice-over can be cheezy, but works well. The characters are more than enough to tell the story. And all the leads do amazing jobs. And it really rings true, in so many ways.All told, you should really watch this. It's enjoyable. But also somehow taps into a load of feelings I hadn't realised I had.

shwan-348-526669 what can i say? the film was too dark for my taste, I think you need to be at the right frame of my mind to enjoy all deep emotions and philosophy behind. for most of us living this stressful life, I doubt there will be much good time to watch such a movie, no wonder why financially it flopped grossing less than half a million form the $2m budget. the film itself, was a well done movie, great scenery combined with great acting from all especially Joshua Jackson who I think was the finest actor from the cast of "Dawson's Creek".. I love the ending of the movie, it felt just perfect. my only advice for people wanting to watch it, if you are stressed and unhappy, please save it for another time.

SnoopyStyle Ben Tyler (Joshua Jackson) has stage-4 cancer and is given 10% chance to live. At most, he has a couple of years left. First thing that occurs to him is that he has an excuse to cancel his wedding to Samantha (Liane Balaban). He decides to buy an old motorcycle despite the disapproval of Samantha. When he rolls up the rim of his Tim Horton cup, it says "Go West Young Man". So he goes west on his bike for a road trip before returning for treatment and eventually his wedding.I don't particularly like the Campbell Scott narration. I don't mind him as an actor, but his voice by itself is grinding. This is a charming little Canadian movie by Michael McGowan. It does need a bit more quirky to raise the interest. This movie is chalk full of Canadiana. However that is not enough to make this a great movie. It just needs more than what it is... which is a gentle little Canadian travelogue mixed with an emotionally simple story.
