A curious artifact: A movie about an era that produced scores of movies most people never saw, and arriving nearly a generation after most people never saw them.
Top CriticHollywood North loses bite, first by being exactly the kind of movie it satirizes and by being so dated.
A terrible Canadian movie about the making of a terrible Canadian movie.
A forgettable fluffy Canadian film about runaway production during the heady days of Tax Credit filmmaking in the late 70s.
