An American Carol

A funny spoof on all anti-American movies that seem to spew from Hollywood like fire ants through the Texas prairie. Far from being all about Michael Moore, as liberals profess, this movie takes dead-on shots at general liberal/anti-U.S. propaganda that is taken as truth by the mainstream media and gullible Americans. The director is not afraid to give credit to Lincoln for going to war to fight slavery, when the Democrat Party of that day was willing to let the South have its way, just to avoid a war. I had to laugh when Malone and the Rosie O'Donnell character put up that radical Christian video as evidence that America deserved 9/11. If you know history as it happened, you will like this movie. If you know history as told by Hollywood, you will understand nothing. Good job Zucker, and now I want to see the Ben Stein movie that was in the previews.

Go see this movie. You will laugh at the sad truth of it all. Freedom is not free. We would not have the liberties we have without kicking some crazy rears now and again, and to protect our rights now we need to keep a strong military. I was disgusted with the previews that came before the movie. Full of lewdness and porn. Have we sunk this far? What good money is wasted on disgusted movies, that warp our children's minds. Hey liberals, why don't you take all that money you have raised for the next worthless movie you are working on and feed the poor with it! This movie is not perfect, but makes some great statements, and you will laugh out loud. Go to see this movie, if only to make a statement.

I can't say that my politics are very conservative (except in making government smaller), but this film makes "Baby Geniuses" seems like "Citizen Kane."

I can appreciate a well-made film regardless of its agenda. "Patton" and "Dirty Harry" are great, quality films with a Conservative bent. "An American Carol" is not.

This movie is not quality film-making. The writing, as Shakespeare wrote, "is a tale told by an idiot: full of sound and fury and signifying nothing." And NOT funny.

The acting - (Dennis Hopper, go watch your early work and strive for half of that artistry) - is painful. They say, "drama is hard, but comedy is harder." In this case, Kevin Farley (the Frank Stallone of the comedy world) must think drama is impossible.

As to the dual credits of direction/writing, David Zucker has completely lost it. I loved his earlier work, but he hasn't worked on an artistically successful film in over ten years, and it shows. Sort of like Dennis Hopper.

...but these guys actually tried to make it funny and that's why they failed. They should have tried to make a neocon documentary about leftism instead that would be funny as hell. Insulting to other races "jokes", senile humor, extremely divisive world-view and the stalking of a fairly good documentarist (yeah I said Michael Moore is a good documentarist, go cry in your corners now). So pretty much all the ignorance and stupidity you'd expect from redneck neocons. Only surprise was that the movie wasn't produced in Alabama. The only joke I laughed at was the Taliban training video and I felt like an idiot after that.

I laughed when I came on here and saw a handful of sheepish shoegazers reviewing this movie. They called it 'propaganda', they called it a 'Conservative brainwashing tool.' Let's be honest for a few minutes. Hollywood is riddled with mind-numbingly moronic 'actors' who tell you how to feel, tell you how to spend your money, tell you how to vote, and tell you how you should live your life. Honestly, how can you 16 year old latte lappers truthfully view this film as 'propaganda'? It just makes me laugh.

Anyway, this film was a nice breath of fresh air. I'm sick of Sean Penn pouring his whining little do-nothing tears all over the television set. I'm sick of Opera sitting on her $6,000 white sofa while crying about every low-life druggy that plops onto the seat next to her. I'm sick of the ALCU grave diggers scouring the globe and looking for the next person who says the word 'black' or spills coffee on their lap. I'm sick of Rosie Odonnell spraying bacon bits out of her loud mouth while she thinks she's daytime TVs answer to all the world's problems. Like I said, this film was a breath of fresh air.

Watching this film I realized that modern day America has no General Patton, we have no war hero JFK, we have no liberty loving George Washington. Modern day America needs public officials that know the price of freedom...now I know some of you leftist Bolsheviks will laugh at that, but that's only to your demise. Billions of people around the world are suffering at the hands of brutal and power hungry dictators...yet you sit behind your computer, posting your inane blogs, and believing all the answers can be solved with a click of a mouse and a hug. Get a grip on reality and stop living in Candy Land.
