A twenty-five year old office drone heads back to his hometown and reconnects with a carefree childhood friend in director Theodore Bezaire's existential comedy drama. Adam Stevenson (Mike Stasko) works a mundane job in a mundane office. Crushed by the overwhelming mediocrity of his uneventful life, Adam one day decides to simply pack up his belongings and return to his childhood home. Though Adam's baby boomer parents are casually indifferent to their son's return, hometown clown Mac welcomes his old buddy back with open arms and a mischievous grin. While Adam was toiling away in the office, eccentric Mac has been living it up back home and enjoying life to the fullest. It turns out a little spontaneity can go a long way in helping one maintain their happiness, and as Adam and Mac begin making a list of "things to do" that they had been dreaming about for years it all begins to come together for the aimless young slacker.

- I generally liked the movie, there are some weird dull parts, surrounded by some funny and touching parts . You can relate to the characters, and find yourself caring for them by the end. It looks and feels like a very low-budget independent movie which I believe it is. I would recommend seeing itReply
- funny in some places and I definitely liked the part where they met up with their high school friend who used a wheelchairReply

- Independent Canadian film that almost has an improvised feel at times. Too dark to be a comedy. Gets better as it goes along.Reply
- Vaguely reminiscent at times of cult classics like Office Space and Napoleon Dynamite yet retaining a deadpan sensibility all its own, Things to Do works more effectively as a pure comedy than as a story of personal growth.Reply

- This was a film that was trying too hard to be that quirky indie film - much of the humor fell flat as well.Reply

- I absolutely loved this movie. An independant Canadian film that features great underground Canadian Indie music as well as a great plot combine to make it very under-rated. It starts off tragic, but procedes into very comedic, at times very random. See it.Reply
- Underrated and awesome. Full of indie-movie cliches, but I forgive them of most of 'em. Borrows heavily from "The Graduate" and "Eagle vs Shark". The soundtrack is the best of the year. A much better soundtrack than the overrated "Juno" one.Reply
- Possibly my new favorite movie. Amazingly crafted characters and story, yet remains light and easy to watch.Reply
- It starts out pretty stupidly. Kind of early at 24 to have a list of "Things to do", but among the things these two do is skydive, hold a prom, collect balls off the school roof, etc. -- all in the search of the meaning of their lives.Reply
