One Week [2008] Movie Reviews on CinemaClock

I can't bring myself to give One Week more than a 7 even though I quite enjoyed watching it. I have to agree with other critics that it had several problems ( uninspired acting by supporting actors, made for tv feel, nothing new concept wise, and predictable symbolism and ending) I did like the Canadian scenery and the concept of the film. In 2006 I planned a similar trip but in the opposite direction and in 2007 completed that trip. I have to say I liked the movie because it reminded me of my trip and what I had to overcome to do it, not so much because of the actual movie. But really, isn't that what we go to movies for sometimes? To forget the day to day and imagine or remember special events? I've talked to some critics and read some comments about how selfish the main was but none of them had ever gone through cancer or had someone close to them go through it. I thought the movie portrayed this perfectly, it was HIS journey and HIS need of accomplishment. Sometimes friends and family don't get this and want what they think is best. A good movie to see, but don't look at it's flaws too closely.
