Like our good neighbor to the north, this first-person documentary is genial, amusing and a little bit dull.
September 08, 2015
Lightly amusing if over-familiar summary of every Canadian stereotype we know and love.
April 27, 2015
Being Canadian is a fun and humorous examination of what it means to be Canadian, even if it's sometimes wrapped up in its own cleverness.
May 07, 2015
Cohen's not trying to do anything resembling a serious examination of the country, of course, but even wink-nudge examinations of identity could at least use a few new jokes.
November 12, 2015
Another shallow, easy, and small-time immersion in the sort of nationalistic navel-gazing most people outgrew years ago.
May 07, 2015
[A] good-natured documentary.
January 02, 2016
Being Canadian reifies stereotypes under the guise of deconstructing them, and panders to the pernicious idea of celebrity authority (with a few experts and plucked-from-the-crowd civilians sprinkled in for good measure).

Being Canadian is more of a pandering stunt than a proper documentary, filled with easy jokes and semi-comical historical observations, but not much in the way of actual insight.
September 17, 2015
It's all pleasant enough, but the film, ultimately more of a checklist than an in-depth analysis, never really shines any fresh light on Canada's identity crisis or gets to the source of all those preconceived notions.
