I don't care that this movie pokes fun at Canadians even though they completely over-exaggerated EVERYTHING about Canada; some parts were slightly humorous while most all of it was absolutely ridiculous. Overall the movie was really boring. The script was poorly written and the scenes just dragged on forever. There was somewhat of a plot with the fact that the main character was moving to Canada because he wanted to "escape" from America, but there was no climax, nothing to anticipate really, and rather predictable. I was really disappointed and bored and would never ever recommend this to anyone. If anyone is looking for a cute romantic comedy to watch, this is not your movie.

I found this film to be quite charming and enjoyable, despite its many faults. When the film started, I was a bit skeptical of using a road trip fueled by political issues as a backdrop for a romantic comedy. However, the superb acting of Breckin Meyer and Anna Paquin caught my eye and kept me intrigued throughout the film.As the plot continued to get more far-fetched, it became more and more obvious that this film was not realistic by any means. I was particularly put off when Meyer's character chooses to stay with the Marry A Canadian organization for more than five minutes. I almost stopped watching when he stayed in the same room with the 50 year old woman. Luckily, the two finally do leave the crazy group in Winnipeg, only about twenty minutes too late in the film. I would recommended fast forwarding through those awkward moments and watching again after the two take off holding an American "terrorist" at gunpoint. After this the plot continues to take some obvious and poorly written turns, but fortunately Meyer and Paquin remain believable and likable throughout the film.When their journey begins, the two awkwardly get to know each other through forced questions due to the fact that they were spending hours alone together in a car. As more gets revealed about each of the characters, it become obvious

A self-mocking indictment against taking life too seriously, as ever the redeeming power of love wins out, with the moral - at the end - being that it is better to act locally than to run away.As for suggestions that the movie is partisan, I think not, this is merely a matter of character portrayal.Excellent acting by the hero and heroine. Very enjoyable and absorbing to watch.A self-mocking indictment against taking life too seriously, as ever the redeeming power of love wins out, with the moral - at the end - being that it is better to act locally than to run away.As for suggestions that the movie is partisan, I think not, this is merely a matter of character portrayal.Excellent acting by the hero and heroine.

I saw this at the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck, Michigan.Funny movie about a political activist John Logue (played by Breckin Meyer) who makes a drunken promise that if George Bush is elected president, he will move to Canada. After John Kerry is defeated by George Bush, it seems like Logue's life has lost its purpose. Finally, after his friends insist that he keeps his promise, Logue decides to take the trip to Canada. To do so he places an ad for a road partner and chooses the mysterious Chloe (Anna Paquin).In case you didn't notice by the synopsis, this film does rip on President Bush quite often, so don't be upset if you're from a certain political party, you know what was in store before seeing the film. It started out very well but I felt that it lost some steam in the second half and never really recovered. It's still a good movie, but I wish it would have kept its same charm and comedy that it had in its first half.Breckin Meyer and Anna Paquin were very good together, they were well cast and did a good job acting. However, there are times where it seemed the film was written by someone the day after the 2004 presidential elections. It probably would've been a better film if some of the dialogue didn't sound like people debating on CNN.It's a nice film and worth looking out for, but just remember to read what it's about before seeing it because it's not for everyone.
