Movie Reviews of Canadian Bacon
Movie Review: Everything I know about Canada is from this film
Summary: 5 Stars
The basic story is that we need to heat up the cold war. This will take the focus off of the president for the slouching economy. The Russians are unwilling to play the game, so we must find a new adversary. Canada wins the choice.
Comedy is like smiling. You take a situation that you cannot do anything about, or an attitude that you cannot do anything about, and just laugh at it. This movie is the essence of what many people think they know about Canada. It also contains what many people snicker about, politics. So let's take it to the extreme add John Candy, Rhea Perlman a few eh's, a too clean to be true environment; you have "Canadian bacon".
What makes this comedy is not the story but the one-liners and the parody on Canadian life. One of everybody's favorite, is when a truck is stopped because it has obscenities written on the side of it. The authority, OPP Officer (Dan Aykroyd, born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) points out that the obscenity is written only in English and must also be written in French.

Movie Review: I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! (But hate myself for it...)
Summary: 5 Stars
I know that this movie is supposed to make fun of us Americans, but my God it is funny. I disagree strongly with Michael Moore's politiacal views and that new "documentary" BS that I shall not name. I have tried to give this movie up as a form of protest, but i could not bring myself to it. I love this movie far too much. Anyone who hasn't seen this movie should, unless they don't like Michael Moore and are stonger than me, all you people who love that oaf should see it as well (if you haven't already!) and you Canadians, stop being so touchy! This movie is funny and was not made to make fun of you so stop complaining. This movie was made to make fun of America citizens are stupid hicks. Which is not really fair to us now, is it? This movie is about an unpopular president, the end of the Cold War, and thousands of Americans beind layed-off. Somehow this all ties together and becomes one of the funniest movies ever made. I don't agree with Michael Moore at all, but i still gave this movie five out of five stars. I can't help it and while America's at war with Canada in this movie, I'll be watching at war with myself.Movie Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is clearly a true cultural classic! It is also the only Michael Moore film that I could say that I really liked.
I saw it in elementary school and simply had to watch it again recently!
The best acting roles in the film would have to be: the cop, the mountie, and the American president. There are just so many funny parts, but the confrontation with the mountie, the incident with the cop (Dan Akroiyd), and the hockey fight have to be among the best! Some of the jokes may not be immediately funny to one who is not familiar with the basics of Canadian culture, however.
This is definately worth watching and its quite a clean and appropriate film. Its message definately pokes fun at "American foreign policy" and the "let's find an enemy" attitude.
Movie Review: The Expert Critics must be Canucks
Summary: 5 Stars
Like maple syrup oozing down the computer screen the "Expert, Movie Critics" obviously wouldn't know what a funny movie is if it came out of their cold black Canadian hearts. This movie should be shown in every college political science class because this movie is what politics is all about. Smarter than most people think, this great film shows what a President will stoop to for better ratings, the general stupidity of the average American, and the complete inferiority complex of the entire nation of Canada (even though they have no culture). Do yourself a favor and buy this movie or we'll send the Omega Force after you.Movie Review: Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies ever. As a Canadian, I always thought that this movie was making fun of Americans. It never occurred to me that other Canadians might find it offensive. The way it exaggerates the stereotypes Americans have of Canadians makes Americans look stupid, in my opinon. But it also exaggerates the extent to which Americans believe these stereotypes. It is a very funny SATIRE, so whether you are Canadian or American, don't take it too seriously. That's the problem with all of Michael Moore's work, people take them too seriously.
