I loved it! What could be better than a flick about dysfunctional newfies!

One of the few common man stories of the year, very well done by some of the biggest names in cinema today.

Great movie about a Canadian small town and the way it can turn the human spirit..I don`t Americans taking to this as much as Canadians, especially Newfoundlanders (who aren`t to picky on how others make a feeble attempt to imitate their accent).

Not bad at all - I was surprised it was so well done. It`s a good job considering the book is so rich and involved. Kevin Spacey, Gordon Pinsent, and Julianne Moore did very well.

A lovely little tale peppered with subtle performances by Julianne Moore and Kevin Spacey. Judi Dench is spot-on, and Cate Blanchett disappears into her role as Petal. The real star, of course, is Newfoundland. It is sweeping, majestic and grand. Well worth a look, b`y!
