Terry

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 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.

A more PC view of Terry's incredible feat that bonded many Canadians and thousands worldwide in a mutual battle. Still & all, got a little verklempt at how personable our hero was portrayed, his pain & endurance clear, but not in your face. Great re-enactments of archive footage for the benefit of a younger audience. A good docu-drama best viewed annually: like "Saving Private Ryan" on D-day, like "Braveheart" on Robbie Burns day, like "The Bells of St. Mary's" at Christmastide; to remind us of the emotional ties we have with the battles we wage. It's not so much the performance but the discussions or private thoughts that ensue.

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.

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.
