Being Canadian (2015)
Not Rated
Written and Directed by Robert Cohen
The Story:
Cohen left Canada to come to America and become a comedy writer. Along the way, the more he met people, the more he began to realize how misunderstood the world sees Canadians. He set out on a cross country trek across his homeland to see if he could discover what it truly means to be a Canadian.
Now, as I'm not Canadian, I cannot vouch for the confirmation of 90% of all stereotypes that Canadians are known for that Cohen runs across in the film.
But yeah, he pretty much ticks them off, like a checklist, and most are confirmed as true.
However, don't let that get you down, as the majority of Canadian stereotypes are not exactly a bad thing.
Excessively polite.
Very funny.
You could actually stop right there, and yes, those two are indeed addressed in the documentary.
Each trek of his journey tackles another facet of being Canadian, and he gets answers from everyday Canadians as well as many who have become quite famous on either side of the border.
It's light, it's breezy, it's fun.
Final Grade: A-
