02/08/2013 Big Canadian hero celebrated every year in our schools. Good movie depiction of his life and his journey. See more 09/04/2012 Canadian Hero equal Canadian Classic! See more 05/26/2011 Television, have the reputation of made bad movies. But, Don McBrearty's Terry, possess a wonderful screenplay, as well as a really good direction and a impressive acting of the cast. Terry, is a sentimental and criative film, that going inspire and move the audience. Fresh. See more 01/15/2010 Somewhat cheesy film however the fact it is based on one of Canada's greatest heroes is nice. Nice to see Newfoundland on film, the beautiful side of it I mean. See more 09/01/2009 A average movie on cancer it was interesting in parts and it was nice to watch a movie that was based on a true story for a change all the money he was raising for cancer reaserch really was interesting I did learn a bit from this film but it could of had more detail so I can understand more of what happens when people have cancer. In the past week I have seen two movies telling true stories about cancer so I now understand a bit more than what I did I understand how hard people try to raise money for cancer like this boy did in this film I now understand what type of drugs they suscribe I understand that that particular drug doesn't work for everyone and that they could die. However I learnt alot but out of this film and the other film I saw based on cancer I did want to know a bit more of what the people go through who have cancer and what the people go through that try to raise money for a particular place. So in other words I didn't think there was enough of a story to tell the full story or anywhere near about cancer I found some things interesting and I did learn alot but not enough I want to learn more. The begining could of been better like more descriptive of how it all started and at the end whats happening now because people still suffer from cancer I want to know all what they have done to prevent people from having cancer. It was alright but mainly it wasn't done in enough detail the begining and ending could of been better and the acting could of been better in parts its worth one watch if its on tele but nothing much more than that it wasn't really good but the film wasn't actually bad either. Overall this film was average so its up to you if you want to see this. See more 09/13/2008 They couldn't have cast a better person to play Terry Fox in this, Shawn Ashmore looks exactly like him. Great Canadian film! See more Read all reviews
