Lizette, a waitress in a donut shop in small town has a milestone birthday coming up that she's not happy about. The only thing that could make it better is if her husband Terry buys her tickets to a Dan Hill concert in Toronto she wants to see. The problem is he will only go if his friend Simon goes and only if Simon has a date. The only person Lizette can find is Cheryl-Ann, a permanently happy, innocent waitress at the same donut shop, whom Lizette can't stand. When the night finally comes, things don't go as planned.

This is one of my favorite movies. I love the variety of carefully crafted characters, and the screen play is a clever look at small town romance and fantasy. Many components are in this film - even one underage sex implication. Overall the film is charming and memorable.

Ok the movie isn't "American Beauty" or anything that spectacular but it IS ok. I disagree with comments saying it was a pretentious canadian hockey movie. I thought the character of CHERYL ANN was adorable (even though everyone thinks shes annoying), and the overweight sister (can't remember her name) also did a good job of portraying a girl who feels bad about herself etc. Its not an oscar winner, but I was glad to watch it.

It took me quite a while to like this film, and although I was enjoying it towards the end, it wasn't quite good enough to recommend. The problem is, there are too many characters that make brief appearances at the start of the film, and since few of them get any significant screen time, it takes too long to start to know and care about these secondary roles. On a positive note, perhaps the best thing about this movie was the generally mellow soundtrack, so at least I had something pleasant to listen to even when the story was dragging. Unfortunately, the film dragged a little too often.

Another boring pretentious puerile simplistic hokey morally upright Canadian pooch of a film. Save your pennies for a real movie. Bow wow.
