SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

rcg-1 After having watched American Pie: Bandcamp, this is a rather refreshing take on the teen-movie road-trip genre. Sure, I spotted parallels to Harold & Kumar, Roadtrip, etc., but this movie was different. Maybe it was because the acting was fresh or because the dialogue was real, but this movie carries some--albeit crude--personality. The biggest feat was the lack of gimmicks; sorry kiddies, no stoned cheetahs, voyeur robots, or drawn-out cameos. There's enough human behavior to get you buzzed by the philosophy of it all, but not so much as to not have a good time. On the other extreme, the film is tasteful, not raunchy, and has great sense of adult humor. It's like a diluted high school version of Sideways.

DrMetal Just what a true "hoser" would expect from the great white north, eh? This movie is absolutely hilarious from start to finish as a group of young adults make their way across Canada from Tofino to Montreal, then back to Toronto while overcoming different problems along the way. Included in this movie are many "insider" jokes that likely only a Canadian would get, but that might be what makes this movie work for those cold, igloo living, hockey playing Canucks up north. With time, I would fully expect this to be a Canadian Movie classic, right up there with Strange Brew (1983) and Porky's (1982). GOD BLESS THE SUPER SEXE ALL YOU CAN EAT LUNCH BUFFET!!! (for those that have been there, you know the truth!) I fully recommend this movie with a case of Labatt Blue and a bag of salt and vinegar chips. A full 10 out of 10.

Melissa My friends and I were torn between Without a Paddle with the many known actors and Going the Distance a Canadian production with few people that we could identify. We decided that, being Canadian, we should give the Canadian movie our support. I need to say that we were not disappointed! Going the Distance had so much that is necessary to a great "teen" movie: fun, laughs, love, sex, drugs, alcohol and extreme behaviors. The movie showed us beautiful and some familiar locations, such as the Much Music Corner in Toronto. It is great to see that everything about the movie was Canadian and it showed people that we do not need to go to Europe for a summer trip and that there is fun to be had in Canada! "Eh!?"

jeb_toronto The most-hyped Canadian film of the year, at the climax of which Jason Priestly pulls a used condom out of his own mouth.The kindest thing I've heard other people say is that it's "really a lot like American Pie" or whatever.Yeah, so much so that you can see (it's not too difficult) where they tried to amateurishly ape even those bad movies. You can have fun with your friends spotting all the ripped off jokes from other better bad movies, including (thanks Me, Myself, and Irene) a scene in which a young man gets sodomized by two fortysomething women. Seeing as they're, like, straight out of high school, I can only say:Man, statutory rape is a *gut-buster*!MuchMusic ought to be proud.Telefilm ought to sober up.Canadians should grab torches and pitchforks.Anyway.
