Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Blistering performances.

Ben Mulroney sucks. Every time I see his stupid, full of himself, less-than-40 IQ face on my TV I want to just punch him right in the eye. Canadian Idol as a show I could take or leave, not for me (not much of a reality TV fan) and they always seemed to get their winners wrong, but with Ben Mulroney being added to the mix I can't stand the thought of watching this show for more than one second. He is an airhead Canadian, brunette version of a Ken doll and his father was obviously a total D-bag. I can't stand that guy he makes me want to jump head first into the nearest hole just to get away from my TV. Ben Mulroney sucks!

I think that this show is not that bad. It is just like all the other reality music shows.They find some people who can sing pretty well, they take tbem to Toronto to do the competition. They put them in groups of 10 and they perform in front of the camera and Canada votes for who they want in the Top 10. In my opinion I have not agreed with the way Canada has voted in a long time *coughs* (Paul Martin)Then they all sing their hearts out and prove that they are the the true Canadian Idol.The Idol then gets "crowned" gets their 15 seconds of fame and is never heard of again...ie Ryan Malcom, Ruban Studdard, Kelly (whoever)I would much rather be a Canadian singer then a Canadian Idol.I think the show is fun to watch and it is entertaining and to top it all off Ben Mulroney makes the show a WHOLE lot easier to watch.Grade. B (B is for Ben)

Canada has put some great talent out there. Shania Twain, Default, Swollen Members, Avril, Sum 41, Three Days Grace, Finger Eleven, Alanis Morisette, and Nickelback are among the honorables. However, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction...and here it is.This is Canadian Idol. It's like American Idol but with none of the talent and none of the likability. The judges will pick anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who can sing above a certain number of decibels. People will come up and sing a painful version of "Stacey's Mom" or screech through "A Whole New World" and the judges will ooooh and awwww and gush at every atrocious note the singers attempt to hit.They will drown the singer in praises and give them the golden ticket to Toronto.Meanwhile, the host is out on the town, picking up Idol hopefuls on a greyhound bus, drinking Screech, having a date with a Cod (unfortunatly, I'm not joking), chipping away at the sea ice so the ferry can get to St. John's, and comforting weepy losers who diddn't make it to Toronto. WHAT THE HECK AM I WATCHING HERE?! I thought this was a talent show seeking the next great Canadian singer, not revealing the worst in Maritime culture. This show literally makes me ashamed to be Canadian. And I though Hayden Christianson's horrible acting in "Attack of the Clones" was the worst in Canadian no-talent. Can I still change my vote? Americans, don't think you have it easy. You guys still need to shake off "The Swan".1/10

I watched and enjoyed American Idol, so I was skeptical that the Canadian version could improve on the formula, but they totally have. The show is smarter, funnier, and more touching too - plus the Canadian competitors seem to be way more talented. I especially love that Jon Dore guy - he's hilarious! And Ben Mulroney is surprisingly funny too - his voiceover comments constantly crack me up. I can't wait to see who wins it - I already have a few favorites!
