I'm a bad liberal and a bad Canadian, but...

...so help me, I just don't think "Canadian Bacon" is a great movie.

I'm sorry. I really want to like it, and I even bought it in support of Salter Street Films and Michael Moore, but I just don't think it's that funny.


I don't really like Leonard Cohen, either, but I don't apologise for that.

1. Oh yeah, well Canadian beer sucks!

Just kidding. :)

Actually Canadian beer is pretty damn good - better than a lot of the mainstream swill here in the USA.

8. Not so fast

We have plenty of mass-consumption weasel piss beer in Canada, too.

I've no idea what movie you're talking about, I just wanted to say that. :)

6. I'm a worse Canadian:

I've never even seen it!

7. Rhea Perlman was HOT in that movie.

It was a pretty god-awful movie, but Steven Wright was pretty hilarious.

9. Amok, I wonder if I'm the only DUer who's opened this thread

who actually saw 'Canadian Bacon.'

It definitely wasn't worth the life of John Candy.

They can't all be winners, I guess.

10. John Candy died while filming "Wagons East"

Not Canadian Bacon.

I dunno, I really liked Canadian Bacon. The scene where Dan Aykroyd is a mountie and makes them stop and translate all their anti-Canadian graffiti into French is a riot.

[Philostopher]

11. Huh -- bad info -- sorry!

I thought it was, but you're probably right. 'Wagons West' was the one with Richard Lewis, right?

[trotsky]

16. Yes

Where a bunch of settlers give up and need to find a wagonmaster (Candy) to lead them back east. Not all that funny.

[CanuckAmok]

12. That's the only part where I laughed.

It was genuinely funny.

The rest? Meh. Michael Moore should stick to documentaries!

[blondeatlast]

18. Loved that scene! I also just like any excuse to say or type

Quebecois...

[baldguy]

13. I liked it.

The only accurate depiction of Niagara Falls NY I've seen on-screen

[CanuckAmok]

14. Yup...

I gew up in Niagara Falls, Ont, and I wholeheartedly agree.

[ghostsofgiants]

15. I loved Canadian Bacon

Loved it.

17. not my favorite Michael Moore movie either. n/t
