A gem of a quirky film that is highly improbably yet somehow
probable. David meets Phoebe, a kooky singer who convinces him he really out to
try to apply for Red Rover is Calling Out to You, an org searching for contestants
willing and able to go to Mars and stay there. David’s ex-girlfriend is living
upstairs with a new guy and David is relegated to the basement. He also loses
his job. He’s fed up with life. Every day he goes to the beach with his Geiger
counter searching for something specific, but we do not know what. We only find
out at the end he finds. Phoebe and David are tow opposites. He is a classic
nerd geologist and she is a free-spirited artist. She produces the video for
him that wins favour with the folks who decide he is perfect to go to Mars. But
will he? The ending was a disappointment for me. But l won’t give away the
spoiler. Filmed in Toronto, the acting was spacey good.
