RANT – Canadian Bacon (1995) Movie Review

The John Candy marathon is coming to an end…and it’s one big bummer…

Canadian Bacon is a 1995 American comedy written, produced, and directed by Michael Moore which satirizes Canada–United States relations along the Canada–United States border.

The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Alan Alda, John Candy, Bill Nunn, Kevin J. O’Connor, Rhea Perlman, Kevin Pollak, G.D. Spradlin, and Rip Torn.

The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, and was the final released film to star John Candy, though it was shot before the earlier-released Wagons East.
