I remember seeing this movie right as I was graduating from high school and I thought it was pretty good. Remembering how I thought it was funny my wife and I rented it over the weekend. I was so disappointed. Aside from a few funny one liners (mostly by Steven Wright and Rip Torn) there was not too much to this movie. The real comedic substance was not there despite a good cast. The movie progressed very slowly and was not what I remembered. The writing was the main culprit behind making a really funny and interesting idea bland. I would only suggest renting this movie if you think superficial jabs at Canada are worth the $3 for the rent, and if that is the case rent Strange Brew instead.
