I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Some random comments about a film that doesn't deserve much thought: *Adam Beach is an awful actor; If Graham Greene is the native Canadian Tommy Lee Jones, Beach is the native Canadian Paul Walker.*Sook-Yin Lee was an annoying VJ on an annoying channel and now she's an annoying actress playing an annoying character.*"Woo" typifies in a number of ways the stereotypically bad Canadian movie; flat cinematography, stock, naive characters, inane dialogue.I'd rather insert a toolbox into my rectum than endure sitting through this again.

This review is a tad of a spoiler, but very little.I had never heard of this movie before I stumbled upon the (two) copies of it at my video store... probably because it's Canadian(!)Anyway, I enjoyed it, sweet and funny... It's only two days later that I understood it's most important characteristic, when I finally saw "Breakfast at Tiffany's" for the first time (it was on CBC). This movie is a pastiche of the Audrey Hepburn classic! It's very obvious, especially at the beginning, practically each scene mirrors the original film. Let's revisit our oldies shall we!

Absolutely tedious and unmoving in every respect. Acting is bad and unbelievable. Dialogue is bad and unbelievable. Plot is bad and unbelievable. For God's sake, even the sex scene is boring. The people are certainly pretty enough to look at, but if that's all I want, I can find that anywhere.

I saw the film as well and was not blown away by. I did like the film visually, but felt that the actors were too set and too mechanical. Thought the choices were boring as well. The director shows promise, but will need to have much more vision on her future casting choices.
