  • If you are alive, and still know how to laugh so hard you may have tears streaming, then you've watched this iconic movie with 2 perfectly casted characters, Martin and Candy. I still watch this every year around Thanksgiving although to us, it's a day of mourning, not thanking, for all the beautiful strong and trusting Indigenous who lost land, life and identity at the Invaders hand of oppression at its worst or best, and the start of a genocide that continues.

    But, watching this movie gives me the belly laughs I need at this time..

    The timing, the quick interchanges of dialogue between these 2 mismatched travelers is brilliant.

    Each scene out does the previous and it continues throughout. What a great film about kindness, loving they neighbor and that complete opposites can still exist in friendship by simply finding a way.

    Great, terrific and enlightening movie for all
