Movie Story


When a young man is confronted with his mortality, he takes a cross-country road trip on a vintage motorcycle. One Week tells the story of Ben Tyler (Joshua Jackson), in his mid-twenties, who flees from the confines of his life-an impending marriage, a job he's not entirely happy with and a recent diagnosis-in order to attempt to live more fully. What starts off as an ill-defined venture soon morphs into a quest for the West Coast.

2 thumbs up... I've gone through a similar experience. Very deep, and emotional.

So good I went twice and will buy the DVD. What a great film...being unapologetically Canadian makes it that much better!!

Although it seemed a bit like tourism propaganda this was a a movie that makes you think. It stirs up emotions if you or a loved one has had a similar diagnosis. Seems like this movie has not been released in the USA.

Exellent film, loved it. Wish they would have been a bit more accurate with the location of Canada's biggest, like the hockey stick, it's in Duncan. The shot where he is in North Vancouver, all of a sudden he's in Hope? Still what an awesome movie. One of my new favorites. And what about the soundtrack????
