Thoughts on My Internship in Canada
Final Thoughts – My Internship in Canada is a statical look at the political system, it shows how an outside could help drive the presence of a quieter politician and how the biggest decision in the country can come from the one man that is being pushed, bought and bribed into doing what is best for his future. The film will get laughs along the way with the tongue in cheek idea that this could happen in the future, rather than being something that has already happened. This is well acted, well told story that can be enjoyed by the fans of the style of comedy.
