It's about a guy that moves to Canada to make a statement after GW won again in '04... Seemed kind of contrived at first, but then you realize the man has been blatantly lying to the public his entire term... It starts to sound enticing! If the GOP retakes capital hill, I'm outta here! All I wanna know, is who's coming with me! Hahaha! Anyways, the movie looked pretty good.
