The Worst Film Ever

Good concept, poorly executed.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It's not how excellent the movie was, 'cause that way I think it was mediocre, but how important the message in the movie was. You can't blame all for one mans mistake. And I don't mean just George W. Bush but all the things in the world. If you get robbed by midget you can't say all the midgets are robbers. Sadly, that just seems to be the case nowadays. What was even more embarrassing were adults attacking innocence kids. Blaming them. Like they could have voted for the matter! They had absolutely nothing to do with the war. Let children be children. But I guess there will always be hot headed people just to make their point. And I think Iraq war will always be one of those issues that will press someones blood pressure up. Anyway, golden purpose and true story...isn't it always worth to watch?

What was done to those American Boys was wrong, my son's are Canadian-American's. They were born in Canada to a US father who we are all together as a happy family. We currently live in a Northern Ontario town who are 70% French and we didn't know this when we moved here. I have been called "American" many of times, and I'm a Canadian with no rights to the US. The way Quebec treated those American Boys and Adults is WRONG! I'm hurt by how even my family and I have been treated in the town we live in now. We lost $130,000 because of the French saying "If we are going to go to an American store we will go to the bigger one" and others who won't shop American. This movie is great for those to see what its like, to see what my family has gone through. I hope and pray no one else will ever go with we have but for those not to move where we are at either. 5 star movie!!!

All in all...excellent...It was very true to the story...though I did not care for how "French" the actor who played Premier Bernard Lord played it...Bernard Lord is definitely French but, does not speak with that marked of an accent as was portrayed in the film...it was my only criticism, the actor certainly favored him in looks, though...it was kind of funny to see houses and streets that I recognize being shown as the "USA." My nephew is a goalie in one of the street hockey scenes. We watched this movie when it was shown on TV on Feb 1st, 2008. We may be a bit biased but, we think it shows the spirit of the youth of Fredericton and the innate goodness of the people here in our region.

I really enjoyed watching this movie, mainly because I live in Fredericton and was proud that my city hosted such a great event for these poor kids from the U.S. who got mistreated for something they had no control over. I thought this movie was well acted, especially on the part of David Sutcliffe and newcomer Alex De Jordy who I thought gave a heartfelt performance as Jordy Martin. It was pretty cool to watch a movie that was taped in your hometown, which doesn't happy here very often and it was funny to watch them pretend to be in Boston when I could make out stores in the background that are down the street from my house here but to someone who isn't from Fredericton, they wouldn't know the difference. Either way, I thought this was a very cute movie.
