Terry

Wow. Shawn did an amazing job of being Terry Fox. The movie was motivational, tasteful, authentic, and used very convincing digital editing. You'll definitely need some tissues though!

I grew up knowing about Terry Fox. We has studied him in school and I knew his story but to see this movie made the miracle of hope much more real to me. I'm the same age as Terry was when he did his run and I'm really amazed that someone my age accomplished so much and was so very mature and wise beyond their years.

I'm moved. Deeply Moved. I really hope they release this one on DVD even though it's suppose to be a TV special.

I'd have to say it was a very well done movie. I do not know much about Terry Fox but I think Shawn did a good job of portraying what Terry must have been feeling during that time. I found out at the end of the movie that he died about 4 months after he completed that run. Possibly the hardship he endured getting thru the run sped his eventual decline. But yeah, good job Shawn. He is getting better and better at acting. I think people should see the movie, especially if you do not really know about Terry. By the way, if your are a crier, be warned, this movie will have you bawling. Keep a box of tissues nearby.:) As for the quality of the movie, I think they did a good job making it look and feel like you are back in the late '70s early '80s. All in all, I approve.

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).

I just finished watching Terry and it was such an inspiring movie.. I felt such warmth in my soul. Terry Fox is a true ICON for us Canadians. As I was watching "Terry", I got news that my town in Newfoundland raised just over $92,000 for the cancer society. I was so proud. It was such an amazing movie. There couldn't have been a better person then Sean Ashmore to play Terry. I cried while watching this movie and it wasn't because of his death, it was because of this life. He was an amazing man. I kept thinking while watching the movie how I sometimes complain just walking across the street to go to the store while this courageous man jogged as far as he could across Canada. I just can't tell you how full my heart feels from this movie. Good work to all those who helped make this movie and to the family and friends of Terry Fox, God Speed.

God Bless Terry Fox and his family...May he live forever in our hearts and memories.

As a kid growing up I can remember Terry Fox. I can also remember taking part in the first Terry Fox run at my school when I was in grade 2. I think it's great that he's left such a legacy.

This is the second movie about Terry Fox I've seen. The first, "The Terry Fox Story" (1983) makes no bones about Terry's complicated personality and his sometimes strained relationships with those around him. It was well known that what drove Terry to take on a challenge such as this also made it difficult to be around him.

Fox's story in "Terry" seems accurate enough, but with the glaring omission of the more controversial sides of his personality. I think this is a shame, as it doesn't take away from his accomplishments at all but makes him more real, and to that end more people could connect to him rather than some nostalgic saintly version of him.

Terry Fox is a true Canadian hero and his story should continue to be told. Overall a fine made-for-TV movie, but check out the other version as well.
