Oh, you Canadians............ ..


Always trying so hard to prove that you are relevant in the world. I'm so proud that you finally made a movie that is actually watchable, but let's not get carried away with your film making prowess. This was comparable to a made for TV movie at best.

Exactly.

Some countries(and their citizens) seem to think the world should use Hollywood as some kind of benchmark for gauging a countries quality and merit.

Thankfully there are some reasonable people and nations out there that are not that daft.

I will second the OP's sentiment tho, the movie was pretty bad.

"A dumb messenger isn't the same as a dumb message"?

I'd mostly agree, except the OP managed to be dumb messenger with a dumb message.

First off this does not represent all of Canada and it's inhabitants, all but a few. You are Proud? so what does this mean, who are you?

Of course it was watchable. It was full of great scenery and was well put together imho.

I remember growing up magic in movies my imagination on fire I can still see some of that magic.

I'm proud to be Canadian.

Unfortunately, many of us aren't proud of most of the films/TV shows made here. We do seem to avoid a lot of Canadian-made shows & films in favour of American & British entertainment.
