'Moving Malcolm' is a Canadian comedy-drama film, directed by Benjamin Ratner and released in 2003."Movie has feeling of baseball player who lost a close one". 'Vancouver Sun', October 17, 2003.

The film stars Ratner as Gene Maxwell, a man who is forced to piece his life back together after being dumped at the altar by his fianc Liz (Elizabeth Berkley), but is asked after the wedding to help her move her father Malcolm (John Neville) to a new apartment in a seniors home. The cast also includes Jay Brazeau and Babz Chula as Gene's parents George and Gisha and Rebecca Harker as his autistic sister Jolea, as well as Linda Sorenson, Nicholas Lea and Tom Scholte in supporting roles.

The film premiered at the 2003 Montreal World Film Festival, where it received an honorable mention from the Best First Feature award jury."Dark horse takes top prize". 'The Globe and Mail', September 8, 2003.
