"Bon Cop, Bad Cop" (Theater)

What it's about: A dead body is found straddling the Ontario-Québec border. Police officers David Bouchard (Patrick Huard) from Québec and Martin Ward (Colm Feore) from Ontario must work together to solve this crime, despite their differences of languages and styles.

What I thought of it: Friends (English speaking ones) had strongly recommended it, so we decided to go see it. It was so worth it! It’s funny, there’s some violence, lots of stereotypes about the “Francophone” versus the “Anglophone”. The story line is interesting (about our hockey teams being sold to the States, murders, etc.), and I loved the fact that the French spoken in the movie (with English sub-titles) is actually Québécois, and not “proper” French (from Europe). It is what and how we speak French here!

My favorite scene/quote: My favourite part is when David (the French cop) is “teaching” Martin (the English cop) how to swear in Québécois! It was hilarious! The translation (sub-titles) doesn’t do justice to the way we swear, but I’d say you get a pretty good idea!

If you have a chance to go see that movie – go!
You won’t regret it!
