CANADIAN BACON is a not so thinly veiled attack on conservative American ideals. One would not expect any less from Michael Moore who is an arch-liberal.

There are only a few laughs. John Candy shines. The only time worth watching the screen is when he is on it. There are also a few good moments provided in cameos by Steven Wright, James Belushi, and Dan Akroyd. But their total combined time onscreen is less than five minutes.

But all in all, it is not worth the hour and a half for the four or five laughs.

In sum, if you share the liberal political philosophies of Michael Moore, you will enjoy the America bashing, and overall enjoy the movie more than others. All others should stay away.
