Movie Reviews of Canadian Bacon
Movie Review: Good comedy; satire on American "hatred" for Canada
Summary: 4 Stars
'Canadian Bacon' is a pretty funny movie with quite a few funny lines and some great casting and acting. The best part of the movie is what some people just don't understand and hate it for -- this isn't an anti-Canadian movie; it's a movie that pokes fun at the almost "playful" hatred Americans have for Canada, making America look like the idiots. At that, it does a good job. It also has one of my favorite lines ever-- "There's a time for thinking, and a time for action. And this, gentlemen, is no time for thinking!"Overall, it's a fun movie that won't disappoint if you like John Candy and think the hatred Americans pretend to have for Canadians is just silly.
Movie Review: Propaganda? Maybe...but I liked it
Summary: 4 Stars
I love John Candy comedy and Alan Alda. I've watched this for a third time just recently and realized that despite the obvious propaganda, it's not all that heavy. The film was a great conversation piece for myself and my friends living in Canada when the movie first came out, so I do have fond memories. If you haven't seen it yet, give it a chance. I think you'll find that though it may not be as funny as other John Candy films, it deserves a spot on the shelf for those who collect Candy (or Michael Moore) movies.

Movie Review: Much better than I thought
Summary: 4 Stars
When this movie came out I was turned off by the stupid title and unattractive cast. But when I saw it recently for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised.
It is very funny. The opening voice-over about the presidential motorcade had me laughing uproariously. As a wacky comedy of course it is not weighty, but its political content makes it more serious than I thought. I think those people who say Michael Moore hates America have a point. :-0
Movie Review: Great Movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is hilarious. How could you not love a movie about a cold war with Canada! That's right, Canada! The terrifying and scary Canadians are completely unaware that America is declaring war on them, to increase the presidents popularity with the publi. This movie is a must see for John Candy Fans, although he isn't on screen as much as I wanted him to be. Oh well. 4 stars for this movie. "Imagine you're kids pleaging allegiance to the maple leaf."Movie Review: Canadian fun
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok, here's the full disclosure. I grew up in Michigan, so Canada was a 45 minute drive away. If you spent a lot of time in Canada and the USA then you will get a lot of laughs from this clever comedy. However, if you have not spent too much time in Canada, you may not appreciate/get the jokes as much.
