Would Canadians watch this American movie?
Question by Eric S: Would Canadians watch this American movie?
The movie will be called “It’s not that cold here, really.” and it will be an American comedy produced by ME!
The movie will be about a dumb American gangster from New Jersey who decides to leave his gang town and visit a more peaceful place called….Canada.
He decides to travel to Toronto in mid-July and his family talks him out of it telling him “it’s VERY COLD in Canada, it’s a freezing cold country!” So he rebelliously drives to New York/Ontario border with 16 North Face jackets, a survival kit, a battery generator to heat the car, a 4-week supply of emergency food, a portable stove, 16 containers of mosquito repellent, a hunting knife. And a guide to survivng Polar attacks in the arctic wilderness. And emergency bottles of water, emergency toilet paper, for his summer trip to Toronto, Ontario. He’s an idiot.
He gets to the Canada border and they ask him where he’s going!!!! He says “Toronto for the July weekend.”
Customs official: What have you brought here???? 16 jackets, emergency supplies, bear repellant????
Guy: Because my friend said it’s FREEZING COLD in Canada.
Customs official gets skeptical because he thinks perhaps this guy is planning to stay the winter, either that or hide out. And overstay his welcome and not plan on leaving the country. They keep him at the border for a few days.
The guy starts USING his survival kit food and water to feed himself while sitting in the immigration customs office. Just to give him what he asked for, they purposely put the AC on 10 degrees celsius so he can freeze inside the immigration and customs building.
He ends up being held over in the border office until the weekend is over, so they tell him to make a U-turn and USA customs will take it from there.
They say “I hope you enjoyed your stay. Next time, do some research before you plan a trip to Toronto.”
It would be pretty funny.
Or you can make it where they do let him into Toronto and then it just so happens the city experiences a black-out like a few summers ago, and the guy thinks it’s ALWAYS like that
You know? I’ve been in MANY Canadian cities. Intentionally, the last place I want to visit in Canada, after I see all the other provinces including the maritimes, is TORONTO.
Isn’t this fascinating? See everything except Toronto, and then Finally…..Toronto.
Edit Dangerma: Definitely would put you in the credits. The thing though is going straight north by road, you can’t go much farther than Kapuskasing. Or the road to James Bay. The only opportunity to drive FAR north is to go west of Edmonton. Unless of course you fly
Best answer:
Answer by mango
do they actually keep people there for a whole weekend??! if he doesn’t even make it into Canada, that would be kindof anti climactic wouldn’t it.
the idea is funny, I’ve seen people in August with skiis strapped to their roof looking for mountains.
If he were to make it in though, which they probably would let him in, they’d be laughing that’s for sure. But it would be funny if he just kept his mindset that toronto is some sort of wilderness after seeing it and just took everything the wrong way. Like a beavertail stand or something. Blackout’s like the one several years ago are extreemly uncommon.
I’m just wondering, are you canadian and have you been to toronto?
