This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Good movie but grossly overrated
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
After 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 ......
Things To Do was a totally pleasant and unexpected surprise. I laughed so hard, I spit out my M&Ms! Everyone has gone through a traumatic event in their life that makes them reflect on, where am I going? What I am doing? There are so many things I have yet to do! Things To Do captures this beautifully and makes you laugh in the process! Hysterical moments - tennis balls and tear-away pants! The type of movie you make a part of your collection and watch again and again when you need to feel good. Great performances, look out for Daniel Wilson. Really good soundtrack, love to know where I could find it. Think Garden State meets The Royal Tenenbaums. Loved it!
This isn't a bad movie... but it's the type your girlfriend makes you watch. The story isn't bad .... it just makes the hour and a half seem so long. 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.
I recently rented this movie from the festival collection and I was pleasantly surprised. It is the story of a young guy trying to figure out what to do with his life which I could totally relate to. The idea of feeling trapped in a dead end job and thinking you have no other options is something I think many other people can also relate to as well. The movie starts a bit slow but really picks up steam with the introduction of Mac, the main characters free spirited sidekick who had a youthful innocence about him. I really enjoyed their relationship and how they played off of each other. The film has a bit of a Wes Anderson feel to it, and also sports a really good soundtrack. Definitely worth checking out.
