Watch: An Insignificant Harvey 2011 123movies, Full Movie Online – Harvey Lippe’ works as a janitor at a small ski resort in the peculiar Northern community of WhiteFox. Standing three feet four inches and abandoned at an orphanage as a child, he has grown up angry and miserable. Now in his early twenties he lives like a hermit in a small trailer, his only friend being Lucas Harold, the town drug dealer. Lucas attended the orphanage for several months before being adopted and subsequently moved to several fosters homes. He is rough around the edges, but has a big heart and a perspective few people give home credit for. Every evening Harvey walks the same route from his trailer, several miles through farmer’s fields and hillside forest to get to work. But on this day he has a run in with a stray husky, which he at first thinks is a wolf. She follows him and that night he reluctantly allows her inside his trailer. Through her he meets Dakota Dixon, a dancer at a bizarre local strip joint. Dakota, Lucas, and Inca (as Harvey names her) develop into something Harvey has never had before, a family. Dakota and himself grow close and their relationship becomes intimate. Just when Harvey thinks his life may be worth living Dakota turns on him and Inca is almost killed in a snowmobile accident. He must pull himself together and decide what is worth fighting for, which is where his true story begins..
Plot: A janitor at a small town ski resort, who also happens to be a little person, has his life dramatically change when he finds a stray husky and falls for an exotic dancer.

Enjoyable, heartfelt film that stuck with me for days
Yes, this is an indie film with very little money to pour into production values, but what it lacks in technical proficiency, it makes up for with heart. Jordan Prentice held my attention for every second of his screen time. He delivered a very human character, complete with emotional vulnerabilities, flaws, hopes, and life choices, and all played with surprising subtlety and warmth.Kristin Adams also turned in a quiet and playful role as the love interest. Once again, her character was believable and real. Kudos to director Jeff Kopas for evoking such natural deliveries from his cast.
Being filmed in Canada’s cottage country, I could almost feel the cold nights in the airstream trailer. But the quaint Blue Mountain Village, nestled among ski hills, made for some very attractive and golden daytime locations.
The supporting cast were good at supporting the lead and the story. Although the ending (I won’t spoil it) left me a little baffled with its abruptness and lack of explanation, it also felt very real. Life often doesn’t provide neat explanations for people’s actions, nor does it resolve in a tidy climax.
What really struck me as a sign of a good film was that I kept thinking about the characters and the mood of the film for days. For me, that’s a sign of a well-told story when it lasts longer than an hour after I’ve watched it.
This film is for viewers who want to think and feel for themselves, so if you’re looking for pure escape and spoon-fed storytelling, try the latest rom-com form Hollywood. But if you want to spend 80 minutes exploring the simple lives of some people you could easily meet at the nearest small-town ski lodge, check out An Insignificant Harvey.
NOTE: The behind-the-scenes featurettes on the DVD are very well done, engaging, insightful, and fun.
meh
I Did not enjoy this film despite repeated attempts to watch it, and the fact that I really wanted to like it. I was frustrated by some of the far-fetched and unrealistic characters and scenes, I thought the protagonist was very difficult to relate to and ended up shutting the TV off after the scene at the vet clinic when the dog was injured. I think that scene completely missed whatever the director’s intent was (with me anyways) and appeared cruel and sickening. Some parts of the movie are not bad, but it was one of the more difficult and awkward films I’ve seen in a long time. The protagonist’s employer is unrealistically abusive and his friend Lucas is pretty hard to believe as well.
