No Saskatchewan???, 29 March 2009
10/10
Author: c_janz from Canada

I totally loved this movie. The only thing that bugged me was that all of the "Saskatchewan" scenes were not actually filmed in Saskatchewan, so that was a bummer.I love Joshua Jackson and love the fact that he is Canadian. I thought it was a beautifully done movie that made me very proud to be Canadian.

I was expecting it to be intense and to a certain degree it was, but it was also funny, heart warming and inspiring.

I highly recommend this film to any Canadian who wants to see more of our beautiful country on film. And for anyone else in the world who wants to see how amazing and vast out country is.
