SunnyHello Nice effects though.

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Allegra Sloman 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.

tyrone waters Lets put it this way. I actually get this movie. I get what the writer/directer was trying to do. I understand that the dialog was meant to be dry and emotionless. I understand that the plot was supposed to be non-climactic and stale. That was what the writer/director was going for. A very very very dry humor/comedy. With all that understanding, I still think the movie sucked. It seemed like the writer/director was trying to recreate Napolean Dynamite with this movie. It had all of the same features. Even the main character behaved similar to Napolean. But Napolean Dynamite was actually funny. Its script worked. This movie is not. It has no purpose. Well, let me rephrase that. Its only purpose is to rip off Napolean Dynamite and try to capture that look and feel. Too bad it didn't work.

sgingras-1 Well it's all about having to go back home. We've done it a million times, you move away things get messed up with the crap job and you go back home. Hope you don't run into people you know, you find your best friend and search for yourself. This movie is hilarious, like another writer commented, starts a bit slow but does it pick up. The quintessential guy flick, get a beer, some popcorn and get ready to howl. And by the way, the last commenter was right, simple soundtrack but extremely effective, very Good Will Hunting. By the way this was my first post, I'm a movie junkie and am sure I'll get better with practice.

kaasschaaf This movie confuses me, I don't like his friend who is obvious a person with the IQ of a pickle. In the end I got a good feeling about the movie, apart from the rest of the movie witch I watched with great difficulties. His parent's annoy me so damn much that I almost turned off the movie, but this is also because he let those things happen to him. Still I can't understand why he doesn't do what he obvious needs to do.In the end he makes a sudden career move witch I found rather interesting because I can relate to that in my own life but for the rest he is -and I'm sorry to say it- a loser.
