great movie! and the soundtrack even better!

This is a good film that has great scenery across Canada. The story is simple yet moving. This is a good serious road trip movie.

it has a laughably canadian identity, but the story is solid and this is simply a great movie. i set a pretty low bar for jackson because of dawson's creek; so low, in fact, that he'd probably accidentally trip over it not knowing it was there--you know, if the metaphor were real life. what i'm really trying to say is it's a pretty good movie.

"One Week" scores most of it's points for puffing up my Canadian pride. Recognizable landmarks and corporations make for a warm feeling, even when the main topic is Ben's terminal cancer. The film balances drama and comedy quite evenly. It flashes back and forth without ever losing its footing. Most of the supporting cast is one-dimensional, instead focusing on Ben's quest to find meaning to his life. The downer ending still manages to leave the audience upbeat, proud to be Canadian and alive.

A love letter to Canada. But also a great indie flick.

Neben der tollen Geschichte gibt es viele schöne Aufnahmen aus Kanada zu sehen.

If Canada had an official national film, this would be it.
