One thing that bothered me...


Was the a-hole debate techniques he was teaching his son. That just really seemed wrong.

Not wrong. Just political. I think it was a valuable lesson, not only in its application, but to help his son learn to identify it when it's being used against him.

I think the world would be a better place if everybody understood a-hole debate techniques, so as to limit their success.

.. British Columbia born Cameron Bright playing the kid had a distracting accent, esp the Boot sound, ie in "about" and several other words.

What, weren't there any blueblooded sympathetic 'murican actors auditioning to play the son??

Could have understood casting's practical difficulty supplying legally required tutors if filming had been up north, but nooooo:
