Borderline Normal (2001) Reviews
best of the festival!
I saw this film in Belfast, last month at the Cinemagic film festival. It was easily the best film there! It is full of laughs but gets into some serious themes as well! I just read that it won the best film prize at the festival. The award is well deserved! I think it is a Canadian movie, so keep your eyes open for it. You won't be disappointed!
Decent little flick
Living in the Windsor/Detroit area for the last 5 years, it was nice to see a movie that represented the stereo type that both Canadians and Americans have for each other. It may not be a Hollywood hit, but it certainly does provide us with memories of our highschool years. Definately worth the hour and half time spent in your living.
much better than expected...
I was conned into seeing this film at the World Festival in Montreal last fall and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting your run-of-the-mill made-for-cable family drama (you know, cheesy and contrived...) BUT this was much better than that, a funny and strangely touching love story about two kids trying to make sense of their world. And some great performances (Caterina Scorsone is amazing...who on earth is she???) definitely make this one worth checking out.
A strange mix of good and bad
Borderline normal is a coming of age drama about two sons whose parents split up and how in particular this affects the younger son. This is a strange film in many ways, it features some hard hitting drama but also some strange characters. It has a relatively high profile cast with decent actors like Corbin Bernsen, Stephanie Zimbalist and Michael Ironside who provide excellent support. Unfortunately I found the performance of the lead Robin Dunne a little wooden but this is offset by a great performance by Caterina Scorsone as his girlfriend. There are some excellent scenes here but these are interspersed with scenes that seem out of place and amateurish. This really is a bit of a mish mash and it's a shame as this had the potential to be really good film. For all it's annoying faults this is never dull and is pretty entertaining.
Canadian film, eh?
Bravo. Being a Canadian, I was finally proud to sit down and watch a movie with good acting, and a good story. Catarina Scorsone was fabulous! Corbin Bernsen and Robin Dunne are good too in this charming, wonderful little film. I am not sure if you can get it at a video store. It was on TMN (HBO equivalent) here in Canada. Well done!
