The movie stars Breckin Meyer (The Craft, Tall Lights Fade), Anna Paquin (The Piano, True Blood tv), Mike Bell (High Life).
While working for John Kerry, blogger and liberal, Meyers makes a drunkin promise on tape for a local TV station that if Bush wins a second term he will move to Canada. Pressured to keep his promise Paquin joins him as a driving partner.
Im rating this movie as a C-. Id say skip it. I have two problems with the movie. One is dont have your main character so stupid as to make a pledge like this while drunk. I mean come on man. Problem two is Meyers character is complaining about George W Bush. I disliked Bush as much as the next guy. Knowing some facts about Mubaric and Moammar Gadhafi how bad is Bush. The implication that 8 years of Bush would even come close to 42 years of Gadhafi. Grow up and if you dont like Bush Im sure you can skip Canada and live with Gadhafi as your leader. There is something called Suspension of Disbeleif. This was a little too much for me to swallow. The road trip was alright as far as the dialog between Meyer and Paquin so that part of the movie was alright and somewhat interistng but not enough to over come my problems with the movie. The ending of the movie was also ok but not enough to stop me from thinking that Meyers character is a two year old and he does not like the outcome so he takes his toys and goes home. Grow up.
