I found this film to be quite charming and enjoyable, despite its many faults. When the film started, I was a bit skeptical of using a road trip fueled by political issues as a backdrop for a romantic comedy. However, the superb acting of Breckin Meyer and Anna Paquin caught my eye and kept me intrigued throughout the film.
As the plot continued to get more far-fetched, it became more and more obvious that this film was not realistic by any means. I was particularly put off when Meyer's character chooses to stay with the Marry A Canadian organization for more than five minutes. I almost stopped watching when he stayed in the same room with the 50 year old woman. Luckily, the two finally do leave the crazy group in Winnipeg, only about twenty minutes too late in the film. I would recommended fast forwarding through those awkward moments and watching again after the two take off holding an American "terrorist" at gunpoint. After this the plot continues to take some obvious and poorly written turns, but fortunately Meyer and Paquin remain believable and likable throughout the film.
When their journey begins, the two awkwardly get to know each other through forced questions due to the fact that they were spending hours alone together in a car. As more gets revealed about each of the characters, it become obvious
