Like many of the others who have reviewed 'The Red Maple Leaf' here on IMDb, I've created an account just so I can review Frank D'Angelo movies.
It's sort of enjoyable in the sense that every Frank D'Angelo movie is a colossal train wreck, a festival of bad acting, poor writing and a soundtrack of Frank D'Angelo songs - this time, though, including a soulful medley of the US and Canadian national anthems at the end. You'll want to leave early to avoid hearing that. It's kind of bizarrely entertaining. I am one of many who actually pay for tickets to Frank's movies just for the fun of seeing how bad something can actually be.
The acting is so scintillating that you'll wonder if Doris Roberts and Robert Loggia actually died before filming started rather than after. Plus - Phil Esposito! An all time-great! (In hockey. Not in acting.)
I hope my review brings the average rating down closer to where it should be.
