Having lived in Sydney, Glace Bay Nova Scotia for a while and spending a few summers there, I know what hanging at the beach and drinking beer is all about.
Glace Bay/ Sydney is much like Prine Edward Island - full of unemployed people or on welfare - going to the beach, driving their cars up and down the empty roads and just getting frunk at people's homes.
This movie holds true to plenty of that in small towns across Canada.
What I didn't like about this film was all the unneeded swearing. There was just too much....far too much.
It needed less swearing and more story.
What I loved about this movie was the red Ford Bricklin...boy, that's a sweet ride...always wanted one.
Anyway, no award winning movie here - but for a low budget film - and a film that's not about some red haired little girl picking apples and feeding horses and living on a farm in PEI, this movie is good enough.
It's not great - but it's far better than so many huge budget movies with overblown effects.
The actors were good enough for their roles - and since a brewery financed this movie, you will probably see more than enough labels of a certain type of beer.
Far too much swearing though...far more than needed.
