Canadian Bacon 07/22 Blu-ray (Rental)

"Surrender pronto, or... we'll level Toronto!" Academy Award® winning* writer/director Michael Moore (Fahrenheit 9/11) serves up a "delightfully ludicrous" (Sight and Sound) political send-up brimming with madcap hilarity and side-splitting slapstick! Starring legendary funnyman John Candy (Planes, Trains and Automobiles), as well as Rhea Perlman ("Cheers"), Alan Alda (Marriage Story), Kevin Pollak (The Usual Suspects), Rip Torn (Men in Black) and Steven Wright (Natural Born Killers), Canadian Bacon is one "funny, acidic satire" (Variety)!Faced with sagging approval ratings and disgruntled arms manufacturers, the U.S. President (Alda) decides to cook up a new Cold War with Canada! And after a flood of media propaganda, Americans waste no time in "patriotically" burning their ice skates and swearing off maple syrup. But when bumbling U.S. sheriff Boomer (Candy) and his hair-trigger deputy Honey (Perlman) decide to take matters into their own hands and lead a preemptive strike, they soon find themselves embroiled in a hilarious international incident that's too close for comfort, eh! Review A determinedly wacky comedy. Candy is, as usual, loveable. --Entertainment Weekly Delightfully ludicrous. --Sight and Sound Funny, acidic satire! --Variety See more
