Avis à la une
I loved the movie! It was so good. Those who haven't watched the movie yet, rent it!! Shawn is brilliant in this movie as he portraits Terry Fox. He is such an inspiration to all of us Canadians. He never thought of himself while he ran the Marathon of Hope, but only the children who suffered from cancer all over Canada. He has done such an amazing thing by running across Canada to raise money for cancer research that he gave the children hope that they will survive and that at least somebody cares about them and is willing to do something about it. His dream came true even after his death and his legacy lives on! For 25 years, millions of Canadians have done the Terry Fox run in honor of his memory and they've raised millions of dollars! "A dollar for each Canadian" Terry said, and his dream came true. Terry Fox truly is Canada's biggest hero.
This is everything I like in a film. I watched this on TV, knowing it would be good, I was right. I talked to my friend Stephanie on the phone and we watched it together, we were both pleased! 1. The acting, I never knew Shawn Ashmore was so good. All I have seen him in was X Men, In A Heartbeat and a couple other things. Excellent acting. Even though Shawn and Terry's voices were nothing alike, GREAT MOVIE! 2. The story. Terry fox was a Canadian legend and hero and we remember him greatly. If only he was still here, he was a great person.
3. It shows how proud Canadians can be instead of all these Americans called us Canadians losers. We are good people.
This film deserves an Oscar. One of the best films ever made.

Just a fantastic movie about a man who was so selfless and so generous in his pursuit of curing cancer. It just brings me to tears when I think about what he did and sacrifice, it's very touching and moving. He didn't do this for any personal glory, he was just a man who felt that he could do something to raise money for cancer research and try to help out those who were worse off than himself. Terry Fox is so great because he was wise beyond his years and was so unselfish. Most people his age aren't concerning themselves about changing the world ( Terry wasn't either but now this is an annual event), most are worried about more trivial things in comparison. This TV movie does a great job of capturing Terry's perservering spirit. A great movie that I recommend to anyone who wants to watch a great story about a real man.
I saw this movie at my school believe it or not!
I thought it was very very well done.
Shawn Ashmore was perfectly cast as Terry Fox by the way.
In my life, I have had some bad experiences with these kinds of movies but this one was different.
With this movie, it has substance, a good storyline, and a good cast which makes everything work just wonderful.
I thought it was very well done once again.
I also thought the cast was awesome, especially Shawn Ashmore-Terry Fox
The little bit of humor in this movie just made it perfect in my opinion.
Hats off to Shawn Ashmore and all of the crew for making a truly excellent film adaptation of the life of Terry Fox
Hats off especially to Shawn Ashmore for a truly great performance as Terry Fox.
I had no idea he was such a good actor but I know now!!!

Being from Coquitlam, Terry's hometown, and having met many members of the Fox family, this really hit a nerve. With hometown pride and all, in schools they show a video about his life every year. I was glad to see a lot of the shots were recreations of archival footage I've seen a thousand times. It made it seem so real. But this movie did something that the school video couldn't. It delved into his life, when there were no cameras around. I didn't really realize how much pain he was in until I saw this. You just can't really tell what's behind the brave face from old news footage. Definitely something to see, it's both entertaining and inspiring (in a non-cheesy way).

- AnecdotesIn the re-enactment of Terry Fox's speech in Toronto's Nathan Phillips Square, Terry is wearing a hockey jersey with nothing on the front. In real life, he was wearing Darryl Sittler's NHL All-Star Team jersey (with the NHL logo displayed predominantly), but the cost of licensing the NHL logo meant the shirt was left blank (though Sittler's name and number is still on the back)
- GaffesIn one scene, Bill Vigars refers to Canada Day, the July 1 holiday commemorating the Confederation of Canada. This may be perceived as an anachronism, as the holiday was not officially known as Canada Day until 1982; in 1980, its official name was still Dominion Day. However, it should be noted that informally, many Canadians were already referring to the holiday as Canada Day; the official name change *reflected* an already existing usage.
