BEING CANADIAN (Video Release USA 2015)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì

Being Canadian
does not have a lot to give for a 90-minute investment of time. It performs as a slow documentary about Who’s Who in Hollywood who has Canadian roots and ties. The movie plays down being Canadian to the level of being Canadian means: one is involved either in the movie or music industry. It seems to have been produced as a low-key roast of Canadian entertainment personas.

Robert Cohen defines Canadian via Who’s Who in the entertainment industry.

Fox), Himself (Dan Aykroyd), Herself (Kim Cattrall), Himself (Will Arnett), and Herself (Catherine O’Hara).

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. It does not rate as good entertainment and has that same constipated feeling of ‘this is going nowhere’ that Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon’s series, The Trip, displays.
