Since their office is located in a downtown area, where almost all of the buildings are connected by a system of glass-enclosed bridges, this doesn't seem like such a difficult proposition. However, the longer they stay indoors, the stranger things get. Waydowntown, which was screened at the 2000 Vancouver International Film Festival, was directed and co-written by noted Canadian filmmaker Gary Burns, and features celebrated actor and filmmaker Don McKellar in a role as a cubicle drone. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Jay Carr, Boston Globe
The film's snags and stumblings are more than compensated for by its wryly subversive tone.
-
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
Dilbert without the right-on satiric humor.
-
John Anderson, Newsday
A well-put-together piece of urban satire.
-
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Burns never really harnesses to full effect the energetic cast.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
A smart, sardonic satire.
