When this film was recommended to me, I thought it was going to be a slapstick-laden comedy and I was reluctant to start watching it. The first few minutes seem to confirm my worries, but the film shifted under me and became a heartwarming story about Clyde's reassessment of his life and his attempt to make something better of himself.There's a, well, not so much anti-establishment, but more a tone of not having to accept lousy jobs at lousy wages and lousy working conditions and that sometimes we have to be strong enough and brave enough to branch out into the unknown, cast ourselves free from our safety net of stagnation and try something new.At a point when Clyde's only friendship seems to be coming to an end, there's a definite slant towards showing us that every ending can also be considered a new beginning, and sometimes it's only when life is dark that we can see the light leading us to new things and new experiences.I was worried that the ending might throw me for a loop, but the ending was really good and I enjoyed the film greatly.I would watch this again.

This movie is great! The humor in Moving Day is eccentric. The cast is great. There is a pleasant balance between humor and 'drama'. The style and setting is original. There are super retro features in this movie (or is this typical Canadian?). Key components of Moving Day are friendship and loyalty. We loved the dog Little Buddy. Moving day really works the pathos! I did not want to miss a minute of this movie. Funny, touching and eccentric, really worthwhile watching. I normally do not enter many reviews. But we are flabbergasted by some negative reviews and the low rating of this movie. Which is totally unfair. Watch, enjoy and feel Good!

We get to see quite a number of movies especially related to some sport with underdogs coming on top of the champs but this for me was real life. This could be any one of us at the bottom of the pyramid chasing the middle class dream of a job in the city, better salary, better home , a nice set of wheels etc. Maybe we can throw in a thinner body to the above list since the character Clyde was portrayed to be fat. The other 3, were the stereotypes; a wannabe rock star, a drunkard and the man with a criminal record plus he's black. The character of the boss seems so real, a middle class gentleman, lonely, and trying to project an image of a profitable business by cutting corners which have illegal tendency. The reality portrayed in this movie with the effort being put in to make the characters seem to relevant and close deserves an 8/10.

I thoroughly enjoyed this great little movie. Was not expecting a blockbuster (thank god, especially after the train wreck better known as The Dark Knight Rises), and got exactly what I was hoping for. Witty, endearing and quite enjoyable. WILL SASSO SHOULD WIN AN Oscar FOR THIS!! (kidding). But I can find fewer more pleasant things to do in downtown Toronto on a soggy, muggy summer afternoon. The cast was great and the script, although a bit light, is nonetheless lighthearted. Cheers to cast and director and the great city of Halifax (which I visited once). Look out for a great performance by the doyenne of east coast comedy, Cathy Jones.
