I saw the whole town in about 15 minutes! I had the opportunity to go to Sydney on business three days after having seen the movie. I drove down Plummer Avenue, which is "the strip" in the movie. There is not much there; I recognized a couple of store fronts as well as the hangout where the kids sang "Out on the Mira" in the movie. I couldn't find Moonie's house. Does anyone know where that is located?
Anyway, the movie is a fun story, full of Maritimer in-jokes, including a teenager's visit to the bootlegger as well as Moonie's father baking a cake while smoking and drinking. Best line of the movie was when the son is pouring his father a large drink of rum and the father exclaims, "Whoa whoa! What do you think, we're at the Legion ?!"
Go see this movie for a different look at teenage angst. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
