Sort of like how you could see the style of the Wachowski Brothers in their 1996 film Bound, you can also see the developing style of Michael Moore in this early comedy, a ham-handed political lash at America as compared with our angelic neighbors to the north. There are certainly a lot of things that we could learn from Canada about living among each other in peace, and Michael Moore wants everyone to know that, at the same time as he makes fun of their apparently childish approach to crime control.
It's an occasionally clever political romp that is never laugh out loud funny and doesn't contain a single noteworthy performance, but I suppose it is interesting enough, if only as a curiosity piece about the early work of Michael Moore, who has made inarguably the most controversial and notorious political documentaries of all time with Bowling for Columbine and, even more, Fahrenheit 9/11.
And, of course, Moore makes an appearance in the film as, well, as himself, really a loudmouth political activist.
