Awaiting Atwood is goofy, ridiculous and fun. The two main characters, in all their middle-aged glory, are on a journey to what they believe is a rendez-vous with an icon: Margaret Atwood. Travelling by canoe, bicycle and hang glider through the wilds of Northern Ontario, battling the elements, they run into extreme characters, existential angst and adventures that, of course, are loosely based on Atwood novels. No spoiler alerts here, you'll have to watch this movie to find out if their quest is successful. But I can guarantee that the trip is worth it; your travel companions are a hoot, there are always strange twists and turns, and there are many laughs on the way. This is a movie unlike any other. Highly recommended.
