“I saw this at the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck, Michigan.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFunny movie about a political activist John Logue (played by Breckin Meyer) who makes a drunken promise that if George Bush is elected president, he will move to Canada. After John Kerry is defeated by George Bush, it seems like Logueu0026#39;s life has lost its purpose. Finally, after his friends insist that he keeps his promise, Logue decides to take the trip to Canada. To do so he places an ad for a road partner and chooses the mysterious Chloe (Anna Paquin).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn case you didnu0026#39;t notice by the synopsis, this film does rip on President Bush quite often, so donu0026#39;t be upset if youu0026#39;re from a certain political party, you know what was in store before seeing the film. It started out very well but I felt that it lost some steam in the second half and never really recovered. Itu0026#39;s still a good movie, but I wish it would have kept its same charm and comedy that it had in its first half.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBreckin Meyer and Anna Paquin were very good together, they were well cast and did a good job acting. However, there are times where it seemed the film was written by someone the day after the 2004 presidential elections. It probably wouldu0026#39;ve been a better film if some of the dialogue didnu0026#39;t sound like people debating on CNN.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a nice film and worth looking out for, but just remember to read what itu0026#39;s about before seeing it because itu0026#39;s not for everyone.”
