Canadian Bacon (1995)
Does not age well
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.
Pearl Harbor (2001)
Perfect for the Jerry Springer show.
Don't waste your time with this movie, it will be 4 hours of your life that you will desperately want back after sitting through it. The movie revolves around a love story between a pilot and a nurse and the pilots best friend. The story goes through several dull hours of this relationship and then ends up with a situation that is more suited to day time television. The love story and how it ended made me want to throw up with disgust and boredom. The only redeeming qualities of this movie were the examples of jingoism at it's worst and how pride can be the downfall of nations. Also the Japanese was authentic and it was refreshing to hear some old world military Japanese.
