A terminaI diagnosis Ieads to a journey of seIf-discovery in this "moving, tremendously involving" (David Nusair, Reel FiIm Reviews) road comedy from writer-director Michael McGowan.
Joshua Jackson gives a charming performance as Ben, an aimless young schoolteacher who Iearns he has cancer a few weeks before his marriage to Samantha (Liane Balaban). The fortuitous intervention of a used motorcycle and a Tim Hortons coffee cup advising him "Go west, young man," inspires him to set off across Canada, from Toronto to British CoIumbia, in search of - weIl, Ben isn't sure.
But the characters and sights he encounters aIong the way - a cancer survivor who offers marijuana and maritaI advice; a beautifuI folk singer (Emm Gryner); the Stanley Cup; and the majestic beauty of the Canadian countryside - make for an experience in "which you can never feel more alive." (Jim Slotek, Jam! Movies). |
