Review of One Week

One Week (I) (2008)
7/10
An overall good film and a good act!

I've seen very few performances by Joshua Jackson, namely only a few of a partial episode of him in Dawson's Creek and him as a child/teenager in "The Mighty Ducks the movie(?)" But I thought the acting by all in the film was overall very good, if not excellent. The scenery and the shots were beautiful. Great shots of the Canadian landscape. And great little humors here and there about us Canadians! I thought the reference to Tim Horton's is very cool! I have seen many films with references to the Star Bucks franchise but not many to the Timmy's! All the characters were very well played, from the small parts like Gord Downie's biker and the guitar player on the street to the bigger parts like Lianne Balaban's and Joshua Jackson's. Overall, a good film, with good acting, very nice backdrops, and great background music! I do agree with one reviewer though in its lack of coherence between the stock footage and the narrative at times. But how many has gone out to do a low-budget film like this across our country?! And yes, it did miss everything east of Toronto. But hey I'm sure they'd do better if they had a bigger budget! Overall definitely a film I would recommend!
