These overemotional reactions seem like they are pretty common in the US, and apparently in Canada as well. Not that long ago I discovered that sometimes when people see a good movie at the theater on that side of the pond, they start applauding when it's over. I was talking to a friend about this and we both laughed our asses off. We cannot imagine people react like that here. You would be seen as a complete weirdo when you would clap after seeing a movie. Are you crazy? Who do you clap for? The 18 year old highschool dropout working the projector? What the fuck. Overemotional weirdos.
