Review of Cas & Dylan

Cas & Dylan (2013)
9/10
Great film!!!
8 January 2015
This is one of the warmest, loveliest, touching yet funny and original films I've seen. It may be the best performance Richard Dreyfuss has ever given; a curmudgeonly doctor with a terminal brain tumour. That sounds like a downer. Not at all! There is amazing warmth and a lot of great humour here. Through an unlikely series of events. Dreyfuss ends up driving across the country with a kooky lady played intriguingly by Tatiana Maslary.What starts with hostility and misunderstanding develops into a unique relationship. They are a great team. Eric Peterson (of Corner Gas) and Natalie Radford are wonderful in a funny cameo as an odd but loving elderly couple. And...Hallelujah!!! This is a Canadian movie actually set as well as shot in Canada! I've been a frequent critic here on the IMDb of the many ghastly Canadian films shot in Canada with Canadian government subsidies but set in the United States. Cas And Dylan proves that you can do something on a low budget, set it in Canada and deliver a thoroughly original and captivating product that will play well anywhere!
