A story about a young man who gets enough of his life in the city with unsatisfying job and returns back to his parents. He meets people of his past, makes a list of things he wants to do in his life and goes through it together with his friend Mac.It may start slowly, but with the time I was falling in love with it. It was pretty funny to see all the things they have done, which included making a great movie and be in a great band. And when we got to see why Adam was doing it, it gave the movie a bit more of a meaning.I really liked the acting as well. I checked on the work of main characters and it is pretty sad that they didn't do much acting after it. The characters were very well developed.It is not a Hollywood movie, there are no special effects, but it is a good movie to watch and I recommend it to people who like to see a good story for a light entertainment
... View MoreAfter seeing this film you start to think about the things that you would have liked to have completed. My list is long and I know that it would have been fun just trying to complete any part of the list. I know that everyone has some kind of list but just, can not find the time to begin. Also we all have a neighbour like Mr. Farston. Theadore had a great idea when he and his partner Gerry wrote the screen play, they came up with a solution that worked. That in itself shows that a disturber liked what he saw and knew the public would also. You can go to your local Blockbuster store and rent the movie. So please take a look at another Canadian Independent Film and then make your own list ......
... View MoreA feel good movie that revives the sole and ignites the inner-child. Makes you want to start crossing off things on your own to-do list.I loved characters, they were all so well developed. Adam's indifferent father who doesn't care to put down his newspaper when his son arrives home for the first time after his buddy commits suicide. Adam's resentful mother who stores stuff in his room while he's still living there. And, of course my favourite Mac, who I identified with the most, the somewhat socially inept, child-like, free-spirit who despite his obvious flaws seems to have the found the key to his own happiness, and ironically the only person in the film who doesn't need to compile a 'things to do' list.Well... it was 'just plain magnificent'(my new favourite term) and has a definitive spot on favourite movie shelf alongside Garden State, I 'love' Huckabees and New Waterford Girl which I think also beautifully capture the average individuals struggle to find happiness in their seemingly sterile environment.

It's hard for me to trash this movie because I really do like the idea of it but it was just to long and thin on story... too bad. The main character never really seems to change all that much from beginning to end . I mean goes through something "life changing" and he can barely break a smile. I really thought Mac was really good. His weird quirkiness kept the movie from being a complete disaster. Maybe I just don't "get" this film. If anyone can explain it to me I'd love to be informed.
