Braking for Whales

Was glad to see all the positive comments from user reviews, after seeing it only has a 4.9 rating. This was to me an excellent little picture. I especially liked the acting of the lead sister 'Star'. She couldn't be better named because she is definitely headed in that direction.

Nothing special, just an enjoyable romp down the road of life.

The trailer seemed alright but the movie was so farfetched and ridiculous. I like Tammin Sursok but in this movie she was extremely annoying. I don't understand the random George W. Bush stuff in the movie. There was so much unnecessary dialogue and scenes that dragged on and on. Finally when there were 25 minutes left, I just started skipping ahead. I don't know how anyone could sit through this or give it more than a 4/10. I feel like the higher ratings are from people who worked on the movie.

I hated this movie so much, I actually turned it off. So I honestly don't know where it ended up but I can guess because it seemed pretty basic.

It was just complete nonsense. None of the dialogue or actions made sense. Losing a parent is hard even if you have a strained relationship with them but these characters didn't act like actually people. They just did "funny" stuff. Nothing seemed to follow on with the characters they created. The brother is a republican yet cares about climate change? I know I'm generalising but most republicans either don't believe it or ignore it. Things like this drove me insane. Then the sister says "let's sleep in the van" while in the van and the brother had to point out "oh well we can't because of all them boxes in the back of the van". Like why!!! She can see the boxes, she has been driving in the van right next to them!!! And why not take them out before you set off!

It drove me insane but Aunt and Uncle Caricature really took the cake for me, that's when I had to tap out.

Cannot tune into the thumbs down reviewers !?

"Braking for Whales" is a wonderfully simple story of a brother & sister rediscovering one another after years of separation due to their willful and mistaken concept of one another. This is a charming independent road film worthy of being watched by all.

Director: Sean McEwen and Writers: Sean McEwen & Tammin Sursok have created a thoughtful and sensitive road story dealing with end of life issues and self discovery emotional conflicts. Actors Tom Felton & Tammin Sursok portray the two main characters perfectly.

Good chemIstry, but just lack of something else.Beautiful soundtrack, though.
