Johnson is nothing if not a punchy ringmaster of deadpan humor and his grab-bag mindset generates enough goodwill to appreciate the DIY brashness of it all.

The movie is, among other things, very specifically and unabashedly Canadian, and made with evident love for its city. But I expect this is a comedy that can transcend borders.

It’s also an early contender for the funniest and most charming movie of the year.

You can’t stop watching and can’t stop wondering how they pulled this off, all while laughing your butt off.

4.5/5

A magic trick of a movie that reminds you friendship is beautiful, permits are for cowards, and nostalgia for 2008 is an absolute minefield.

Logistical nightmare? ha I hardly know her. (The movie would have been better as a tv season without the unscripted streets interactions tbh)

Wow - I had no expectations on this one and went in essentially blind having never heard of the group. Just happened to have a couple hours free and saw the movie was well reviewed. It was great. Very funny with twists I don’t see coming including nostalgia and heart. I have to know more about these guys.

It was really a blair witch project on shaky film technique, meets a back to the future remake. Definitely not in line with 90% on rotten tomato
