Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

mmcloughlin As the title implies, an American moves up to Canada - and to his surprise, he discovers he's living in a foreign country! Amusing for me, since I grew up on the U.S. side of the Metro Detroit/Windsor area, as a fifth-generation American-born expatriot Canadian -- so, I have something of a different take on the joke about Americans knowing nothing about Canada (except maybe moose and Mounties, and Austin Powers); because, in Metro Detroit/Windsor/Toledo, we all grow up watching the CBC (avec l'exception des Michiganois(es), qui se grandisent à voir le SRC télévision).Anyway, the gist of the series is that an American who knows nothing about Canada ends up learning a lot about Canada and, in the process, learns a lot about himself and the really important things in life.As to the basic premise of American ignorance of Canada, I should say the matter is understated. Americans don't know much about ANYBODY, even other Americans. And it should be noted that Canadians do NOT know as much about Americans as they think they do. For example, Canadians often remark that one of the differences between the two countries is that Canada has two official languages whereas the United States has only one. In fact, the United States has NO official language, and the First and Tenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, together, probably forbid the U.S. Government from establishing one as power reserved to the several states. (In contrast to Canada, where all power not assigned to the provinces by the Canadian Constitution is reserved the federal government; all powers not assigned by the U.S. Constitution to the American federal government are reserved to the governments of the 50 states.) But I digress.Most of the series after the first couple of episodes focuses on Jake Crew's burgeoning journey of self-discovery (to the extent one can pursue self-discovery in a sitcom - or in this case, a "Can-com"), and his slowly developing relationship with Judy.Not great or rip-roaring fun, but a nice "Sunday-ish" bit of low comedy.

francodomenico ...but, I think this show has a great potential. In fact, Ms. Joy does a nice job, as do most of the cast. I think the writers have to do away with some of the hokey lines--and stop making the American the knit-wit and the Canadians the Slick ones! Usually Americans do play a "heavy-hand" when it comes to Canada; but not in this interpersonal way. In fact, it has been my experience Canadians have a bit more of a insecurity regarding Identity than Americans do. And Canadians and Americans are really great to one another. There are great Canadians comedians, and fine writers that can draw some niceties that exist between our two GREAT countries, without the silly, churlish put-downs. We Americans have ENOUGH of this on our Primetime; it is not necessary that CANADA follow that trend. In fact, NOW is the time for Canada to show it's INDEPENDENCE- fromSilly, Dumb, putdown American Sit-Coms!Don't give it up. It has potential. And the actors are pretty good.

shrek2004 An American in Canada is really very boring and the jokes are something Canadians have all seen before. This might work if it was recast and on a bigger American network like CBS or something, but this show is too long. Plus a few other CBC shows, like Royal Canadian Air Farce and This Hour Has 22 Minutes, do skits based on the premise of "an american in canada" and they are a lot funnier. CBC needs some better shows......fast!

Media_guru It's hard for me to admit, but, because of lack of technology and equipment, Canadian produced shows are less good then (Uhhh!) American shows. But it had a good message and the concept was funny but it moved too slow.Being Canadian, I have a bias which makes the bottom line, it's speed was it's only fault because Canada rocks!P.S Not for some Americans.
