Summary: The Spirit of Canada
Review: Canada. United States of America. Two countries so similar it's sick. For the life of me. Canadian actor, John Candy, should be ashamed to act in a film like this. There is a lot of hilarious things about people from the United States who reside in Canada or Canadians who reside in the U.S. I would know, I am one of those Canadians. I am also a filmmaker, an independent one but, a filmmaker. If I was to make a film in Canada (which I most diffinently will), I will make it so that the U.S. can see what Canada's really "ABOOT." I have never seen one film that took place in a Canadian city. I've seen to many movies that take place in New York and L.A. and Texas and England and Africa (those are where all films take place now a days.) I don't ever see a movie that really takes place in Canada and shows Canadian life. Which to me, is very interesting. There is so much to see in Canada and Canadian life. Rather than joking about legal aliens and illegal aliens and who's country is better, both countries are valuable partners of trade. A cold war would send both nations into a complete depression even though the United States has the bombs!! It's funny, but, one day I will show what it really is like in Canada.

Summary: Laughed nonstop
Review: This comedy is hilarious for Americans and Canadians and is especially funny for those of you who have lived in both countries and who understand the underlying cultural nuances of both. The cast of characters is unbelievably renowned for comedy. It is a must to see.

Summary: The ¿Expert¿ Critics must be Canucks
Review: 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.

Summary: Look beyond the obvious
Review: this movie certainly came out with some classic lines, and its also a movie, that you have to keep in mind that the comedy goes beyond the lines. for example, cars driving by with huge missiles strapped to the top "eat my shorts!" is written on the truck as "mange mes shortes!" in french. and also, a mature sense of humor, if you showed this to someone under age 8, they'd probably think it was incredibly stupid, so the humor isn't one universal to all ages, but when you get it, it can get you into stitches. so try this, and the soon to be released dvd version, and enjoy! "there's a time to think, and a time to act, and this gentlemen, is no time to think.."

Summary: Canadian Bacon's True Review
Review: I think Canadian Bacon was a hilarious movie with a great cast. I'm surprised it wasn't so great in the sales. It shows how America really was in 1992-2000 due to our bombing a medicine factory

Summary: A Good Movie, But Not John Candy's Best
Review: "I don't know what you're talking aboot." "We have ways of making you pronounce the letter 'o'." Although the cast was excellent, Michael Moore didn't quite pull off this attempt at making a movie for the comedy genius that is John Candy. The jokes, although funny, were too few and far between, certainly not enough to keep the viewer breathless with laughter. In this viewer's opinion, the movie did not quite make it into the Candy Classics.

Summary: Among the WORST Movies ever made
Review: CANADIAN BACON
John Candy 1993
Synopsis
A group of Canadians try to prove they are better than Americans. My Review
This is the only movie, in my entire life, that I rented and didn't watch until the very end. It is that stupid and boring.

Summary: Easily the worst project Michael Moore has ever done.
Review: I thought Roger & Me was one of the best films of all time. I thought TV Nation was one of the best TV shows of all time. So, needless to say, I was excited when I heard this movie was coming out. Unfortunately, it was stupefyingly awful. The (idiotic) premise of the movie is that public opinion of the President is very low, so he decides to declare war on Canada to boost it up. This is, of course, a thinly veiled, and absolutely ridiculous, attempt at satirizing the Gulf War. I mean, come on, sure, lots of people disagree that we should've been in the Gulf War, but please, show me one person - just a single person - who would think that we should invade Canada. Ridiculous. I consider myself a pretty liberal guy. But for Moore to consider the Gulf War to be equivalent, in the public eye, to an invasion of Canada just shows that he's far, far beyond the average level of liberality of not only the general populace, but also of his audience. Another problem with this film is that the dialogue is bad; it's just dumb, it's not funny. The worst problem, though, are the characters. They are incredibly stupid. "Incredibly stupid" doesn't do them justice - you don't meet people this stupid in real life; they're stupid like a stupid bad guy from Bugs Bunny. Honestly, you wouldn't be surprised if they literally were to say nothing but, "Uh, duh, uh, I dunno", or if they were to climb into an oven and then light a match because it's so dark. All in all, if you're considering getting this because you've enjoyed other Moore films or shows, do yourself a favor and don't get it. I honestly wish that I had never seen this film; its mere existence mildly detracts from my enjoyment of other projects by Michael Moore.

Summary: Everyone should see this film
Review: Political Conspiracy, Disgruntled Citizens, and slapstick comedy, this combination makes "Canadian Bacon" a must see film. John Candy plays Niagra County Sheriff Bud Boomer, who was laid off at a weaponry plant which had to cease production because of government defense spending cutbacks after the cold war. The owner of the plant, billionare R.J. hacker is out of production and conspires with white house insider, Stu Smiley (Bill Nunn) to have the President (Alan Alda) restart a cold war. With the shambled Russians unable to "Sissy Slap" the americans, the President is desparate to find an enemy in order to raise his approval rating. Eventually Smiley twists some FBI information about Canada into an anti-maple leaf media blitz. After seeing propoganda about "The Canadians, they walk among us", Boomer is so terrified that he, his significant other (Rhea Perlman), and other Niagra citizens are scared silly into defending themselves from the Maple Leaf Meanace. Michael Moore ("The Big One", "Roger and Me") directs this film and combines his political undertones with non-stop laughter. "Canadian Bacon," is such a unique film, it could be classified beyond a standard comedy. In my opinon, "Candian Bacon" is one of the best films of all time.
