This movie might as well have been called "Canadian Road Trip" as it follows "Road Trip" almost to the letter. Starting with the characters: the romantic lead, the pot-hungry friend, and the party-crazed, loud friend. All three take off on an adventure to save the lead's relationship. Along the way, they lose their vehicle, run out of money, the loud, party guy takes it in the corn-hole and enjoys it, the pot-smoker gives dope to an old man, and in the end, the main character ends up breaking up with the girlfriend to be with the other girl. There's even a point where a fire extinguisher is set off.
All that being said, I liked "Road trip" and also enjoyed this movie. Some fresh jokes thrown in with some of the oldest laughs ever. The farmer's daughter bit at first I thought was going to be dumb, but it turned out to be worth a good laugh. And the hippie parents were a riot. Cameos don't overly impress me in any movie, but if you're into cameos, then the appearances of Avril, GOB, Swollen Members, and George Whatever-his-name-is from Much music should satisfy your need for celebrities in this film.
With the film makers obviously trying to show the diversity of Canada's landscape and lifestyles. Starting with the west coast beaches, the prairie carnival, the Montreal strip club, and "floggin' fish and chips" in Newfoundland. And for the back-drop, everything from The Rockies to icebergs. I have to say, it's nice for once to watch a movie where the settings are familiar to me. Seeing places that I've actually been to locally.
If you wanna good laugh and not have to think too hard, then this is one that you'll wanna see.
