À la frontière du coeur

Not the best film. Terrific acting. Now I want to see what else the lead actors were in. Since it's true to life, it's an eye opener for those who've been shielded from the world. The depraved acts people become involved in, when they only focus on themselves & what will give them pleasure at the moment. But it shows that you still make yourself who you are. No one else is ultimately responsible for your choices, other than yourself. LOVE is real. I started watching it on TV & got involved. I had to see the outcome. I was provoked, insighted, hurt, sad, & happy. I've gone trough one similar experience as Catarina Scorsone's character had to deal w/ & I didn't have a loved one to help me through it. But am a better person now, in spite of or because of it. I'll change that old adage "What doesn't kill us only has the potential for us to make ourselves stronger"

Living in the Windsor/Detroit area for the last 5 years, it was nice to see a movie that represented the stereo type that both Canadians and Americans have for each other. It may not be a Hollywood hit, but it certainly does provide us with memories of our highschool years. Definately worth the hour and half time spent in your living.

This film deserves SO much more recognition. It may not be a big hollywood hit but it is well made, the actings terrific, the plot is captivating, and the story is touching - and relatable for many. It shows the stereotypes americans and canadians have for eachother in a funny yet well crafted way. Im so so deeply upset that this film isn't more popular because it's genuinely one of my favourite films, and this is coming from a film studies a level student, who got an A*. I really hope that this film gains more recognition soon - although i doubt it - because its so incredible. Its one of my comfort movies and i share it with everyone i meet.

Saying that BORDERLINE NORMAL is simply a slice of viewing of lives of various is not that difficult to say. But since the minimum for required characters won't allow it, I have to explain the plot in the easiest of ways.

The movie mostly focuses on Jeremy Walling (Robin Dunne) that is dealing with the divorce of his parents (Corbin Bernsen and Stephanie Zimbalist) and in the meanwhile he goes out with his girlfriend Beth and trains for winning a basketball match often helped by coach Rehmer (Michael Ironside), and how it unfolds it's simply something you have to see for yourselves.

The acting was nice by all (especially Dunne, Bernsen and Ironside) and the ways the characters' lives are shown was decent even tho the divorce background might be depressing for those who lived it on their own skin (like me). But apart from that, still a decent movie highly recommended for those who like movies about the human condition.

Bravo.

Being a Canadian, I was finally proud to sit down and watch a movie with good acting, and a good story. Catarina Scorsone was fabulous! Corbin Bernsen and Robin Dunne are good too in this charming, wonderful little film. I am not sure if you can get it at a video store. It was on TMN (HBO equivalent) here in Canada. Well done!
