I realize that I am not the target audience but I wonder what self respecting teen girl will watch this movie and think it's good and I am a Kevin Smith fan but not a teenage girl. There is something genuinely poor about watching American actors do poor...very poor impressions of Canadian stereotypes. I personally have been in Canada my entire life and have never heard anyone say "aboot" instead of "about". It also strikes me as odd that the movie pokes fun at the Canuck and is shot in America. If your going to make such fun of Canada it would be nice to put some money into the economy of the country you are so freely jesting about, after all this is the "True North" trilogy. I found with surprise Jen Schwalbach to be unexpectedly funny and the bright spot of this...film, this may have been in part that her role plays into what seems to be the "angry feminist" persona she seems to have in real life. This seems to be a family pet project movie, a trilogy in which both the Smiths and Depps can make family memories and say that daddy's and daughters made a movie together but this certainly doesn't add stock to most involved. I would also fear that it hurts the image of the average Canadian and seems to make us look like the idiot nice guys however I'm not sure enough people are going to see this movie for me to care to much. Definitely one of the if not the worst movie I've ever seen. Hopefully "Moose Jaws" marks either the upswing of a new season in Smiths career or the point in which he is no longer given money to make anymore movies....I'm guessing neither though.
