South of Wawa

1991 Review

Rebecca Jenkins stars as a Wawa, Ontario, donut shop waitress married to a loser husband who screws around. She finds herself serving as mentor to another waitress and as the organizer of a trip down to Toronto to see singer Dan Hill in concert.

That fateful weekend, which verges on violence and certainly gets mouths spilling truths and lies, will spin a lot of our heroine's loose ends into contact.

Oakville-born director Robert Boyd makes my day when he has his characters wax poetic about Dan Hill's odious ode to love, Sometimes When We Touch.

It's a perverse pleasure in a movie that doesn't entirely succeed.

The movie is minor-league, yet it is an honest failure and Jenkins (from Bye Bye Blues) shows she is more than capable as a singer-turned-actress.
