Brilliant.
This movie was "about" a young pod-cast host who gets kidnapped while
visiting Manitoba, Canada to do an interview, and is tormented and
tortured by a man who wants to turn him into a Walrus he credits with
saving his life.
But this movie is about America's perception of Canada, a satirical
perception Canadians have of Canada, and a hilarious bringing to life
of an idea hashed out on a pod-cast with Kevin Smith.
I laughed start to finish. The comedy, as you can expect, is amazing.
If you're Canadian, even more so (the subtle Canadian jokes were
unreal). But at the same time, the movie is terrifying bordering on
disturbing. And even in the terrifying scenes, there is some subtlety
in them that is hilarious.
