Jan Melnyk

I loved this movie. In many ways I felt like I was watching my own spinsterly life. So many people pointing out how my biological clock was ticking and I better find someone fast. Even my GP. I wish I had embraced spinsterhood, followed my passions, enjoyed my independence. Instead I frittered away the years dating idiots just like this main character. Gaby seemed desperate at first--but her humour started surfacing--her getting a sweet dog, yes I did that too. And discovering the joys of being someone's favourite aunt. But I loved that the ending was not her finally finding "Mr. Right". Or finding him, but saying, meh, I'm on a different path. There's something about those movies made in the Maritimes! They reflect real life, not Hollywood. Kudos to the writers/director as well as the great actors.

Jann is always funny--she is a natural comic--as well as has a lovely singing voice and is a talented song writer. She is so darn authentic. I also love her books--her last one, a memoir about her mother's Alzheimers written in journal style. I hope her show is renewed.
