A coming-of-age story in the John Hughes tradition. Mike Drinkwater is lost. His father, Hank, is hardly the role model Mike deserves. A young woman moves to town, and their friendship gives them the courage to overcome their challenges.

Trivia
Fun Fact: The irony when Mike tells Wallace that she must have never been in Winnipeg in the winter as Louriza Tronco was actually born and raised in Winnepig

Quotes
Mike Drinkwater: Stalking is what crazy people do. No, I'm not stalking her. I'm just seeing her at a higher rate than what would be considered statistically random.

Good Canadian content

This showed up in my Prime suggestions so after watching the trailer we decided to watch. They typical Canadian emblems, Timmies and RCMP were included along with a whole lot of Canadian music as part of the soundtrack.

It was predictable, but fun to watch. Proves that Canadians can make a good movie if they try. The movie revolves around the Drinkwater family, Hank and Mike, and their very strange relationship. In comes Wallace, the girl next door, who Mike notices but not the right way. Mike is chasing the wrong girl as he chases a scholarship as well.

Things have a way of working out though as movies usually do. But this was a fun watch and as I said earlier the music was great.

My only complaint was the shot at my hometown, Winnipeg, but what can you expect from BC? LOL.
