Everything's Gone Green
A new sort of comedy.
Ryan (Paulo Constanzo), late twenties and not getting any younger, is tempted into a money-laundering scheme but struggles with his ill-gotten gains while trying to find happiness. He tries hard not to try hard but is surrounded by over-achievers. His hippie friend has gone capitalistic in a not-so-legal way. His older brother has always been capitalistic in a legal if not-so-ethical way. His father, after losing his job and his faith in the system, has found profitable promise outside of the establishment. Even the woman he desires is comfortable to be cared for by a big-time car thief.

LOVED LOVED LOVED this movie.
This is a fun dark comedy about figuring out your life as you know it sucks.
I gave this movie 4 stars for a few reasons 1) Filmed in Vancouver 2) Filmed in Vancouver and the story took place in Vancouver!!!
3) Gorgeous backdrop 4) The Tim Horton's ice cap product placement
For once I'm pleased and proud that our tax dollars went to a good film.
Give it a try - what do you have to loose.Beautiful shots of Vancouver - Benson
This was a decent enough movie that had some promise, but it didn't really deliver. Paulo Constanzo plays a young man in Vancouver who's life is turned upside down, when his girlfriend leaves him and his job suspends him. Constanzo did a wonderful job acting and was quite convincing. In the end he realizes that money isn't everything and does a lot of growing in the process.
I'd recommend Douglas Copeland's Jpod series instead. Both this film and the series have a lot of similarities. It can be found on DVD.High protein banana anyone? - montyA
In this movie's case, green is the colour of money. Aren't you thinking whether you should buy a (-nother) condo just because everyone else seems to have the money? And isn't it ok to catch up with everyone else with a dodgy scam where no one will get hurt? And surely just a small grow-op would manage to stay under the radar... (I should add this isn’t another stoner movie)
If you live in Vancouver, this movie is a treat: Vancouver gets to play and parody itself instead of masquerading as a generic North Amercian city in yet another semi-primetime police/sci-fi drama. If you don't live in Vancouver, well hey this is finally a Canadian comedy that most people will actually find funny. And because it's written by Doug Coupland it has a lot of heart.
