"Cas & Dylan"

 2013 * Not Rated * 1h 30m  I'm a sucker for a good road trip movie. Especially when it features great dialogue, unexpected encounters, great scenery, and in this case, amazing acting. Dr. Cas Pepper  (Richard Dreyfus) is a doctor who recently was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. He decides to pack up his things and head west across Canada, to bury his dog, and take his own life.  Before he gets too far, he runs across a spirited 22-year old aspiring writer Dylan (Tatiana Maslany). The two are about as different as they come. But that's what makes for a fun and action-packed adventure. 

I know this has been done before. I've even reviewed movies like this in the past, but I really loved this little film. You really felt what the couple was going through. And although it was a bit predictable, maybe that was its strength. 

If you're looking for a cute film that'll certainly pluck at your heartstrings, give this one a shot. You won't be disappointed. 

3 1/2 out of 5 stars
