This is billed as a "love letter to Canada" ... which could be truer if Quebec, Yukon, NWT and the Maritime provinces weren't a part of Canada. I guess we should just rejoice in the baby steps of filmmakers recalling that it includes more than just Toronto.
Any hoots: guy gets diagnosed with cancer, guy buys motorcycle and guy motors from Toronto to Vancouver. It was quirky and it was amusing and it wasn't really anything more than you would expect of a cancer guy motorbiking it cross-country. We do have a pretty pretty country though man. Well, the half of it that was included in "the letter", at any rate.
(Can I just say, though, if you don't want to pull us out of the "the moment", don't put a guy who starred in a Disney movie about a kids hockey team on the ice with a player from the NHL team that was named after same Disney movie. The Disney Mighty Duck and an NHL Mighty Duck should not be seen together except above the caption "Stupidest Inspiration for NHL team name" ... and changing the team name to just Ducks doesn't negate that stupidity)
