Movie Reviews of Wilby Wonderful

Movie Review: Charming, thoughtful Canadian dramedy
Summary: 4 Stars

"Wilby Wonderful" is a typically charming Canadian film, an engaging ensemble piece about a small, isolated rural town standing in the path of modern development. The writing is human and warm (even while dealing with sad subjects...) and the acting is a delight. Indeed, fans of film and TV will be wowed by the cast, which includes several now-famous Canadian actors. I was drawn to the film by lead actor Paul Gross (who I was floored by in "Slings And Arrows"), but was also pleased to see Sandra Oh (currently on TV's "Grey's Anatomy") Ellen Page ("Juno") and Callum Keith Rennie (one of the Cylons in the revamped "Battlestar Gallactica," in a surprisingly sympathetic role.)

If you like films that are about more than car chases, bank heists, wars, etc. -- quiet, human-scale films that use the acting talents of their casts in ways that are unusual and revelatory -- then check this one out... Not the greatest art film ever, but still quite nice. (Joe Sixpack, Slipcue film reviews)

Summary of Wilby Wonderful

Wilby Wonderful is a bittersweet comedy about the difference a day makes. Over the course of twenty-four hours, the residents of the tiny island town of Wilby try to maintain business as usual in the face of very unusual business. Wilby Wonderful features a stellar ensemble of Canada's most talented performers: Sandra Oh, James Allodi, Maury Chaykin, Paul Gross, Rebecca Jenkins and Callum Keith Rennie. Wilby Wonderful is a gentle, intimate story of hope and the importance of believing that we live in a world of creation, not destruction in fact, we create that world by believing in it.
