RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

gavin6942 The U.S. President (Alan Alda), low in the opinion polls, gets talked into raising his popularity by trying to start a cold war against Canada.Nathan Rabin in a 2009 review concluded, "After generating solid laughs during its first hour, Canadian Bacon falls apart in its third act," lamenting the film "was perceived as too lowbrow for the highbrows, and too highbrow for the lowbrows." While the film, in my opinion, never "falls apart", it does feel a bit uneven, with some parts being pretty funny and others not so much. The best parts come across more like skits (notably the Dan Aykroyd scene). Michael Moore should be commended for this film, as it is far outside of what he typically does, but he could hardly be called a comedic genius on this entry alone.

SnoopyStyle R.J. Hacker shuts down his weapons plant and blames it on the President (Alan Alda). Sheriff Bud Boomer (John Candy) and Honey (Rhea Perlman) are fishing jumpers from the plant out of Niagara Falls for $50 a pop. Bud says Canadian beer sucks which sets off a riot at the hockey game. The President has desperately poor approval ratings. His adviser Stu Smiley (Kevin Pollak) comes up with the idea to make Canada the new Cold War foe but General Panzer (Rip Torn) wants an actual war. There are lots of digs at Canada and the US. It has a few cute jokes but it's not that funny. It tries to be a smart satire. The main problem is that everybody is doing it with a nudge and a wink. Steven Wright is kind of funny as a Mountie. It would probably help to have a catchy song like South Park.

annmason24 This is a wonderful, hilarious, movie. It is sadly so true and more relevant today than ever in regard to media control by the war machine and its invented enemies. We are hearing the same BS about manufactured enemies in the Middle East today. This film certainly is not against Canada, unless one believes fairness, cleanliness, and calm reason are undesirable. It's we Americans who come out looking stupid and easily controlled by the media, but we already know that don't we?And throughout this, Michael Moore makes some very important statements, the bombing in the Gulf of Tonkin, for instance. This is much funnier in its black humor today than it was when it was first made. This is my favorite John Candy film. Everyone does a wonderful job here, and the jokes are hilarious.

martinfixman I once saw the ending of this movie on TV, and I laughed as never in my life (actually, I found it so good that I couldn't finish a little work I had to do and I almost get fired from my job).Later, I rented the whole movie, and it was great.The better thing with this movie is that the jokes, are original.For example, where have you seen a movie where there is a "resell of weapons", where people can take bazookas at 20$?Where have you seen a movie where Canadians are shown saying "sorry" when one pushed them? This was an excellent movie, I really don't know why it has so low score.
