This movie was kinda boring. The acting was OK but the story got real old real fast. How long is a story about a guy who does competitive professional rock-paper-scissors gonna be funny to watch? A predictable outcome and some bad jokes along the way.

I am not a family member or friend of anyone who created or worked on this movie. I was familiar with movie but had not watched it before. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It was funny, silly and at the end poignant. I had the chance to meet the film makers and stars and found them to be just as appealing as their characters. I want to watch it again as soon as I get a copy. I found the character of Trevor quite interesting. He was definitely an odd duck but ultimately a good friend. Gary Brewer is one of those characters that you can't help but cheer for. His confidence was inspiring regardless of his chances. Oh Holly what can I say about the lovely and loving Holly. Great character with a big big heart and hair. I recommend this movie for all fans of offbeat, quirky and satisfying films.

This film is so bad it literally makes me want to barf in my own damn mouth. I can't begin to say how much I hate this movie and hate myself for actually sitting there and watching the entire thing, from start to finish. What was I thinking and why do I hate my own brain so much that I would expose it to this movie all the way through? Ninety minutes of this crap. I should have at least turned it off at some point so stop the pain but I didn't and for that I apologize to myself. This movie is absolute garbage!!! There is nothing good about this movie. It's like a few friends told each other they were funny then wrote a script on the back of a paper plate and borrowed a friend's camera and shot the whole thing in one afternoon. Barf!

I just caught this film and was really entertained! It is, in my opinion, a well thought out and solidly crafted comic gem. The acting is top notch. One can't help but warm to the quirky yet extremely lovable characters that the cast created. I loved the little snippets and glimpses of the city of Niagara Falls (where I was born and raised and still currently reside) particularly the training montage at local gathering spot Fireman's Park. It was also refreshing to hear tracks from local artists like KAC Himself and Frank Pietrangelo on the soundtrack. Being a musician & songwriter I definitely appreciate people from local artistic communities supporting one another. I've heard the film compared to things like Napoleon Dynamite and Flight of the Conchords but I have to say that RPS is head and shoulders above these - and, as an added bonus, it's actually funny! It is absolutely impressive and inspiring to see such a quality film coming from a homegrown talent. It has definitely made me take notice and I look forward to seeing GravyTrain (the follow up by the filmmakers) and any future projects they put out. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone that wants to watch an off beat, independent comedy with a lot of heart.

one of the worst movies i've ever seen. probably mildly funny if you're 10 years old.... and completely stoned. Not much else to say about this, its actually on right now, and i'm so bored that I decided to go online, check what rating this 'movie' actually had, write this review (because past reviews and ratings seem to be completely skewed... how could anyone rate this a 10??!??!!). anyways.... i need to fill in 10 lines or else it wont be posted. Poor writing, horrible storyline (not that much was expected, but a few laughs at least...) This review is meant to keep anyone from wasting 80 minutes of their life... thank me later. Contrary to the other 40 people who rated this movie (of which 39 are most likely cast members and family members), I have no idea how anyone could actually rate this higher than a 1. Save your time... go knit a hat or something instead

I'll admit this movie may not be for everyone, but if you like honest dry humour combined with a sort of lovable quirkiness I totally recommend it. I've actually seen this movie twice now, and I think I enjoyed it more the second time around. I saw it for the first time when the filmmakers came to Ottawa and screened it at my local theatre; curiosity made me buy a ticket, and I didn't regret it. When I saw it was available to rent, I decided to watch it again. There are a lot of subtle little jokes that I didn't notice before. I think my favourite aspect of the movie is the characters; they're so strange but I can't help but find myself liking them. I'm a big fan of independent film, and for me "Rock, Paper, Scissors" is the perfect example of young filmmakers thinking outside the box. If you're tired of cookie-cutter Hollywood movies, check this out!

You might suspect that Canada is a dull kind of place, but not a bit of it. There is one activity at which they excel: Rock, Paper, Scissors (RPS). They turn out world RPS champions on a regular basis (yes, there are such things), and now what might once have been considered merely a trivial pre-adolescent game has gone mainstream. After the exposure given it by April Mullen and Tim Doiron's new film, Rock, Paper, Scissors: The Way of the Tosser, it may never be the same again. It's going to be really big! Found across a wide range of cultures, RPS speaks to some deep part of us, which is perhaps why an alternative name for it is "The Well." Our guides to the intricacies of this zen-like pursuit are Gary, Holly and Trevor. Gary is good with his hands (though with an aversion to throwing paper, which is a bit of a disadvantage) and his dream is to beat off all-comers - including creepy arch-rival Baxter Pound - to seize the crown at the RPS World Championships. This is not just about winning against the other entrants though, it's about self-knowledge and rigorous discipline, and the transcendent wisdom that comes from a life dedicated to RPS. It's unfortunate that the gravitas of this important tool, which could easily be used as a way to attain world peace, is slightly undermined by the connotations of the word 'tosser' of which Gary and his colleagues are surely unaware, being Canadian. Never mind. After watching him train, and compete at the highest level, this hymn to the pleasures of tossing is bound to be a boost for RPS. Expect it to go global on the back of their documentary, with Gary a kind of secular patron saint. Not so much a way to pass the time, more a philosophy of life, and who knows, one in which Canada may one day have to cede the tight grip it currently enjoys.

I recently caught The Way of the Tosser on The Movie Network and I was blown away. Fresh jokes and great acting, but what really got me was the honesty of the piece as a whole. There is something special going on in this movie and it's about so much more than Rock, Paper, Scissors. It's really about three slightly strange characters and their friendship. Touching and heart felt, Tosser is a real gem. It made me remember why Indie movies are so important. It reminded me of Flight of the Conchords kinda. If you like mocumentries this is one of the best I've seen!
