Johnson is nothing if not a punchy ringmaster of deadpan humor and his grab-bag mindset generates enough goodwill to appreciate the DIY brashness of it all.

The movie is, among other things, very specifically and unabashedly Canadian, and made with evident love for its city. But I expect this is a comedy that can transcend borders.

The underlying formula is a simple one but the chaos around it is managed magnificently so that you can never be sure what will happen next.
