Featured review
Very silly Canadian Mountie movie, with a lead character that grins far too much, and villains from a Saturday morning cartoon, which is fine if you are entertained by such things. It gives Rocky and Bullwinkle a run for their money! The entire plot requires a ridiculous sequence of coincidences (making it even more cartoon-like) - for example, the crook (Dapper Dan) looking and sounding the same as well-known writer Stephen Norris (yes it is NORRIS, not Morris as listed in the credited cast) and the other criminals just happening to select that particular cabin to hide out at. This of course is made even more silly by the same actor playing both parts.
Of course there is a trapper named Frenchie, but guess where he was born?
Worth a watch, as it is thankfully short, and silly enough to entertain through a few scenes.
Note: If the criminals had been thinking at all (which of course is moot, as criminals are never allowed to actually think in these types of movies), they would have shaved off Norris's mustache and beard to make him look a little less like who he was and help Dan's plot a bit more, but...oh well. *Sigh*
Silliest scene:
Doris McCloud: "You alright Jim?"
Sgt. Jim McGregor: "Oh yeah, I'm fine. A little dirty from dodging bullets."
Doris McCloud: "Just think what you'd look like if you hadn't dodged..."
5/10, for silliness, as well as how long Jim (the Mountie) is able to keep the same expression on his face throughout.
