I guess I’m a snob when it comes to Canadian movies – I just assume they will be kinda crappy and low budget and disappointing.

I really enjoyed this movie. It didn’t give me any of that ‘Canadian’ vibe. It was really well written and not like so many movies that are just like everything else you’ve seen.

The characters are real and you care about them. I was pleasantly pulled into this movie and got lost in the story, unlike many of your more shallow Hollywood fare.

This movie is worth your time.
