Review of Canadian Bacon (1995) by Derek F — 02 Jun 2007

This is the only non-doc that Michael Moore wrote and produced. He also has a quick and ironic cameo as a gun-toting right-wing hick. It was made over 10 years ago but it?s as though it was torn from today?s headlines.

Very funny and incredibly pointed. A must see. It?s an poignant commentary on the Iraq war. It made a dismal $164,000 and had an $11 million budget. Thankfully, Mike has financially bounced back since then.

This flick needs a special edition re-release or something. C?mon, Dirty Dancing got one.
