Review:

Ah yes, a true Canadian film, made by questionably the most famous Canadian actor/director/writer to only make films in Canada? This film is the stereotype of stereotypes. The movie is full of puns that only a Canadian would understand, granted I'm sure no one outside of Canada has heard of it. Every silly cliche that you can think of is in this film. You gets a shit load of slapstick comedy, some completely goofy acting & of course the Legendary Leslie Nielsen (R.I.P.). Need I say more? The best part too is the cameo appearance by my personal favourite Canadian rock group The Tragically Hip as themselves. Overall the movie is just too goofy to be taken seriously even as a comedy. Although I will say that Paul Gross does an extremely good job in the lead role & for some reason I find Molly Parker extremely hot in this one.
