But the characters and sights he encounters along the way -- a cancer survivor who offers marijuana and marital advice; a beautiful folk singer (Emm Gryner); the Stanley Cup; and the majestic beauty of the Canadian countryside -- make for an experience in "which you can never feel more alive." (Jim Slotek, Jam! Movies)."@en
