Things to Do (2006)

Overrated and overhyped

Good start, but then it gets ruined

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

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 ......

One of the best little Indie's I've ever seen. I saw in a little theater in Utah a while back, and I had a chance a little while ago to see at the Bloor st. Cinema's, still loved it. And now I own it via blockbuster's "no late fee" policy. Now I enjoy it whenever I want to. I recommend everyone to see this at least once, and definitely come and put your vote down into this web site. This is a great little film that needs to be seen. You can rent this at Blockbuster already in the festival section across Canada. I hope this film gets distribution in the rest of North America. Wonderful film. Go see it. Go see it, a must see good for the whole family.

A feel good movie that revives the sole and ignites the inner-child. Makes you want to start crossing off things on your own to-do list.I loved characters, they were all so well developed. Adam's indifferent father who doesn't care to put down his newspaper when his son arrives home for the first time after his buddy commits suicide. Adam's resentful mother who stores stuff in his room while he's still living there. And, of course my favourite Mac, who I identified with the most, the somewhat socially inept, child-like, free-spirit who despite his obvious flaws seems to have the found the key to his own happiness, and ironically the only person in the film who doesn't need to compile a 'things to do' list.Well... it was 'just plain magnificent'(my new favourite term) and has a definitive spot on favourite movie shelf alongside Garden State, I 'love' Huckabees and New Waterford Girl which I think also beautifully capture the average individuals struggle to find happiness in their seemingly sterile environment.

This movie confuses me, I don't like his friend who is obvious a person with the IQ of a pickle. In the end I got a good feeling about the movie, apart from the rest of the movie witch I watched with great difficulties. His parent's annoy me so damn much that I almost turned off the movie, but this is also because he let those things happen to him. Still I can't understand why he doesn't do what he obvious needs to do.In the end he makes a sudden career move witch I found rather interesting because I can relate to that in my own life but for the rest he is -and I'm sorry to say it- a loser.
