Canadian Bacon
In a desperate bid to revive his abysmal peacetime approval rating, the president of the United States gets talked into raising his popularity by trying to start a cold war against Canada. But when bumbling U.S. sheriff Boomer and his hair-trigger deputy Honey decide to take matters into their own hands and lead a preemptive strike, they soon find themselves embroiled in a hilarious international incident that's too close for comfort, eh!

A dreadful waste of top talent.

Funny often enough to make it worth watching.

Moore's only non-docu is a misfire, a diffuse, unfunny political satire that only John Candy's most avid fans might enjoy.

Let's leave the poking fun at Canadians to those who do it best - Canadians.

Moore's agit-prop is mildly amusing, but far too preachy to hold water.

A funny, underrated little gem that doesn't say much for Michael Moore as a fictional director, but does showcase his talents as a writer. The last decent John Candy film.

Falls entirely short of its potential

Wow. Just wow. Moore should stick to the "non-fiction" world.

The best thing you can say about this scattershot political satire is that the late John Candy's next-to-last picture is relatively funnier and less depressing than his valedictory Wagons East.
