Interesting

The plot.

A group of four men working at a moving company all suffer downfalls, adding to their rough pasts that continue to haunt them.

It seems as if none of them will ever accomplish anything in life, and when the moving company starts falling apart, it has a ripple effect and their relationships are the next to go.

In order to save the moving company, their relationships and their futures, they must learn how to move forward in life and face their challenges.

Made by the guy who originated the brilliant Trailer park Boys.

This film is nothing like TPBs. Firstly it's rather slow and very strange.

I don't know what to make of it. It threw me for a loop.

The movie is more like a deep character study/buddy movie. It was a surprise.

I liked it. You might too, but don't expect the TPBs.

Why have comedians if you're not gonna be funny?

I don't know if this movie wanted to be funny or not. I got the distinct impression that it wanted to be funny, yet failed miserably. They went out of their way to reject all forms of comedy in preference of the awkward. It was plain terrible.

The movie was about some generally unhappy workers at a furniture store and moving company. I only watched because of Charlie Murphy and he was given a horrible script. He did what he could, but it wasn't nearly enough. The only other faces I recognized were Will Sasso from MAD TV and Victor Garber from various other things. That's all they were: recognizable faces. This movie was a disaster.

Great little flick!

I have NO idea why this is getting a 5.1??? Wtf People?? I watch a ton of movies, and I rarely feel moved to write a review, but I just gotta say, I loved this movie! Will Sasso and Charlie Murphy stole the show, but the rest of the cast did a wonderful job as well. They portrayed a great, loving friendship, it really made the movie. It's one of those movies that,with just a bit of wrong direction,casting and writing, and bad acting, could've easily been a total bomb. Instead, what a treat! NOT a brainless comedy by ANY means (as you may think by the title, cast and basic description), but rather a very warm, well acted, intelligent, and at times, funny little movie. Whilst you may not agree with my 7, you very well may agree it's a good movie, and well worth a watch. Please, give this movie a try.

Charming and entertaining

I thoroughly enjoyed this great little movie. Was not expecting a blockbuster (thank god, especially after the train wreck better known as The Dark Knight Rises), and got exactly what I was hoping for. Witty, endearing and quite enjoyable. WILL SASSO SHOULD WIN AN Oscar FOR THIS!! (kidding). But I can find fewer more pleasant things to do in downtown Toronto on a soggy, muggy summer afternoon. The cast was great and the script, although a bit light, is nonetheless lighthearted. Cheers to cast and director and the great city of Halifax (which I visited once). Look out for a great performance by the doyenne of east coast comedy, Cathy Jones.

Easy entertainment but not hilarious.

Moving Day is good enough to watch once, that's already something, but is it a movie that I will remember? Certainly not. For a comedy I expected just a lot more. There are some funny scenes/moments but not the kind you will remember forever. It's just an easy movie to watch with a more than decent cast but really nothing spectacular. There's not really anything bad to write about Moving Day, it is what it is, just don't expect too much.

Trivia
When the name of Dennis' rock band was decided (Sons of Rock), production searched the Internet to check if a band with that name already existed. Surprisingly, that search took them to Spanish rock/RnB/soul band Sons of Rock, founded and leaded by Alba Cespedes. They contacted Alba to ask permission to name the band in the movie Sons of Rock and offered to include one of her songs in the soundtrack. Listen closely to Dennis' radio in his workshop and you will hear the solo of Sons of Rock's song 'My Name is Lucille', from their self-titled album. The song is included in the movie credits.
