A shitload of Hollywood films are made here, but - like L.A. - Toronto rarely plays itself. This Sarah Polley-directed flick is set in the T-Dot and stars Michelle Williams, Sarah Silverman and Seth Rogen (apparently, Silverman has a full-frontal). I know that at least one scene was shot around the corner from my pad:

Hadn't heard anything about it previously.

I'll check out the premise/storyline on IMDB.

I saw it last week primarily because of your suggestion, Ace. Thanks! My review from the movie thread:

The topic of infidelity has been covered a zillion times in film, but this movie in particular really resonated with me mostly due to Michelle Williams' wonderful portrayal of the equally frustrating and adorable Margot. Credit should also be given to director Sarah Polley who makes the backdrop of Toronto look like the second most romantic city in the world after Paris. The only weaknesses were Margot's hokey phobia and Seth Rogan's big dramatic scene which I don't think he pulled off. Despite that, I'm still giving this a very high 1/2 (out of five). Loved it.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I did see it (mostly to check out how they photographed the city).
