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.

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.

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.

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 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!!!
