Overview
The U.S. President, low in the opinion polls, gets talked into raising his popularity by trying to start a cold war with Canada.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A screwball satire that escalates absurdity as American political desperation transforms Canada into a fabricated enemy. It's a briskly paced romp that skewers both political theater and national chauvinism with anarchic humor.
