Moore makes better Documentaries than he did make a fictional comedy but that is not say it is not good. This low budget comedies really scores for it's biting satire than effectively in my opinion highlights the stupidity of the average American. John Candy is great in the film and Rhea Pearlman overacts in a way that doesn't hurt the film. Sure a lot of the film's humor doesn't always work. Sure some of the Filmmaking doesn't show a brilliance that bowling for columbine or Roger and me shows but that is not the point.
The reality this film represents makes it a heck of a lot more frightening than the exorcist. Moore for saw the military industrial complex's need to have a enemy at all costs. What he missed is that terrorists were enough of an enemy to justify war. He was also wrong that the American government would be happy with a cold war.
Canada is not the target of the satire. The gullible nature of the American public is the main target. We have seen since 9/11 that the American public can be fooled that easily. Moore uses humor to drive home the point that is in reality is not that funny because it is reality behind the death of thousands of people in Afghanistan ,Iraq and hundreds of U.S. Soldiers in Iraq who did not sneek out of war like GW Bush did in Vietnam.
Like All Moore projects they deserve mass viewing.
