Poor attempt at a political comedy.

When the US President talks up the possibility of war with Canada as a ploy to boost his popularity, a group of patriotic American yahoos near the border decide to invade the Great White North. Pretty funny in parts, especially if you're Canadian. Steven Wright's cameo as a Mountie is hilarious.

Moore proves he can make fictional movies nearly as well as he can make documentaries.

John Candy signing one line from Born in the U.S.A. over and over again was pretty damn funny.

Har har, an entire movie about Canadian stereotypes. What were you thinking, John Candy?

Terrible plot, politically driven, directed by Michael Moore. Doesn't get worse.

Michael Moore's touch is very obvious, which is good and bad, but more crucially, there are not enough jokes here to last a movie.

Although done in '95, it feels almost like an '80's movie. I didn't like it as much as other films involving Candy.

A low-budget but hilarious movie that was actually ahead of its time in portraying what life would be like in a Bush-Cheny Halliburton era still on the drawing board when this came out. I watch it when I need a guaranteed goof laugh. Kevin Pollak is terrific. And who will ever forget Stephen Wright's bit part as a Mountie? Never fails to crack me up. Oh, Canada.

mildly enjoyable, but kinda plain

OK I see what Michael Moore was doing: a "liberal" flick with dumb humor to appeal to blue-collar folks. But this blue-collar kid did not laugh once. Part of the problem is the presence of privileged second-raters like Alan Alda and Rhea Perlman. But the bigger problem is that Michael Moore has no knack for writing comedy. He discovers comedy, sure. But writing it: that requires subtlety and an angular approach to the material. This is awful. And kinda sad.

Plus 5 for the "Born in the USA" scene.

A funny movie with a very serious undertone which may, or may not, be caught and appreciated by everyone. I think that much more than being just some "silly John Candy movie", it's got some insightful social and political commentary to make about American politics, especially its Foreign Policy.

I'll tell you one thing about Canada, the beer sucks...

ok

It's like this blender concoction of Michael Moore, Airplane and Canada. It's got a lot of really good jokes (and motherfucking Stephen Wright!) but falters around the land of character development. The protagonists are all interchangeably kind of boring and I never really cared about what they wanted. This is ultimately forgivable because funny things end up happening to them and it's redeemably amusing.

I miss John Candy. It's silly and funny.

The film it's self is pretty hilarious if you like John candy, however it is somewhat dated humor.

Passable comedy, but no better than that.
