Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA majority of the video rental store set was obtained from an abandoned Blockbuster that had been sitting vacant for around a decade in Owen Sound, Ontario. Asbestos in the store forced the movie crew to find a different building to be the set location. They found an empty thrift shop in Ajax, Ontario and built it into the "Sequels Video" store.
- GoofsA DVD of the film Starry Eyes can be seen in a shot. The film takes place in 2002, even though Starry Eyes was released in 2014.
- Quotes
Lawrence Kweller: So yeah, it was just like kind of a misunderstanding actually, just a bit of a miscommunication.
- SoundtracksIII. Saraband
Written by George Frideric Handel
Performed by Daniel Hope, Lorenza Borrani, Lucy Gould, Stewart Eaton, William Conway, Enno Senft, Kristian Bezuidenhout, Stefan Maass and Stefan Rath
Featured review
Excellent, low-key '90s-based rites-of-passage dramedy gem from which stars should be born
In excellent, low-key '90s-based rites-of-passage dramedy "I Like Movies" quirky (to almost 'on the spectrum' level) cinephile teen nerd Isaiah Lehtinen (off-the-scale good) dreams of NYU film school from his nondescript Canadian high school while being painfully condascending to those around him (like pal Percy Hynes White & mum Krista Bridges) before rather idolising Romina D'Ugo, his manager at the video-store job that he loves. Debut writer (and director) Chandler Levack EXCELS with his authentic script of genuine characters - all terrifically performed to give it the feel of "Clerks", but more 'real'. Stars should be born from this wonderful gem.
