Frans B @FransB Jul 29, 2026 Sometimes hilarious, sometimes scary truthful. Makes one think of "The games people play" 😜 Michael Moore did good here - funny satire with political foresight, indeed. Impressive cast delivers on point. Enough drama, lots of melodrama, some suspense, emotion, intrigue and lots of confusion. See more Tami A. @chattyjollyvulture Jun 23, 2026 It was funny and very relevant to today. See more nancy L. @RT76383257 Apr 25, 2026 Close to relevant in 2026.... See more Alexander F @MissaLyssa Mar 14, 2026 I enjoyed it. Very relevant during the Trump administration. Im suprised though, i rarely go against a poor audience AND critic score to say something is good. See more Blu B @RT43513976 Jan 9, 2026 It feels like ZAZ humor mixed with a Oliver Stone political themed type of satire mixed together you'd get this. Except it's not consistent enough and tends to cross over into just outright stupidity and dumb than clever wit. The cinematography isn't that special. It's lots of on location and is on the lower budget side. The location is memorable at the Buffalo area border though. But the slapstick, visual gags, and just some scenes in general are flat, confusing, basic to look at, and aren't funny enough. The direction is ok at best here. Some scenes though to it's credit are funny and have some charm. It does get laughs every now and than when it finds the right balance of laughter, stereotypes, and wit. But it's never huge laugh out loud moments and the laughs just can't sustain any momentum. Everything else is ok here. Sometimes the acting just falls flat because the material just is too dumb or flat. There is a clever idea here 100% and it executes it...maybe 33% of the time.

Michael Moore’s satirical comedy Canadian Bacon (1995) is a crowning achievement of prophetic political commentary. Moore’s brilliant script and fast direction leads to his absolute best career best picture. Canadian Bacon has been one of my favorite comedies since I was a kid and it holds up. Moore directs Canadian Bacon like a classic spoof as he flies from Canada to America to send up both countries with a good natured sense of humor. John Candy is wonderful pretending to be an ignorant American fool, when he was really a thoughtful, sweet Canadian comedian. His lovable personality and sincere performance are a blast to see in his final film role as Sheriff Bud B. Boomer. Alan Alda is hilarious as the witless U.S. President as he has to be told everything. Overall, Canadian Bacon has held up as a ridiculously entertaining comedy and a nice farewell to John Candy as a comedy legend. Thanks for all the laughs. See more Read all reviews
