A Canadian gem!

If you like movies like "Lost in Translation" and "Garden state" - you'll love this.

It's a low key movie which in places has very little dialog. What is said, is often done so with without the characters speaking. They do it with a look or action. Some subtle, some predictable... always entertaining.

The movie has a quiet charm and quirky music which runs through the movie like a red thread, punctuated by hilariously funny scenes. (Keep a look out for the hairspray scene. It makes me laugh every time.) ;-)

I can't say enough nice things about this movie. It's been a favorite of mine for over 10 years and I wish more people knew about it.
