Eccentric Shane (Luke Kirby) becomes obsessed with his friend, Margaret (Sarah Polley), after they kiss, developing an infatuation with her. However, when he cannot put his feelings into words, it seems he has lost her. He then seeks out another outlet for his fixations: gambling. As Shane's fortunes go up and down at the casino, he wonders if anything can win Margaret back, while the rest of Canada is riveted by the international ice hockey Summit Series against Russia.

Rick Groen Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 3, 2004 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena frustrante constatar que as timas atuaes (especialmente de Kirby e Rees) e o interessante roteiro so desperdiados por uma concluso maniquesta e improvvel. Rated: 3/5 Jan 7, 2005 Full Review Erik Childress eFilmCritic.com Stumbles through unlikable characters written by the hand of someone who needed to take a few more risks himself. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 6, 2004 Full Review Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone TheMovieChicks.com I'll bet you can't figure out how this is going to end... it has moments of inspired genius but it's inconsistent. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 5, 2004 Full Review Oz eFilmCritic.com Funny, well written... I strongly advise any Canadian to seek out this film NOW, so that it avoids the fate of so many great Canadian films, the one week theatrical window. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 3, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
