I also looked into this feature with netflix and was told that outside the US/Canada, that one could NOT watch the movies unless you skirt around the issue with a VPN US based. Here is an article that might help.

Not that I am planning on watching movies, but several of my Jamaican friends have children and they are always wanting to watch movies while we visit. So, I am also going to try this trick and see if it works. Good Luck!!
