Pro-American comedy An American Carol hits Hollywood hard.
David Zucker’s new film, An American Carol, is a comedy about a bumbling, anti-American documentary film maker named Michael Malone. In this unapologetically pro-American film, Malone leads a protest movement to ban the Fourth of July, but is visited by ghosts of great Americans (and the Angel of Freaking Death) who try to save him before it’s too late.
The Trailers
There are several hilarious trailers available at the American Carolers website. The “Pinheads” trailer is embedded below.
Great Cast
The movie stars Kevin Farley as the fat, obnoxious Malone in a near-perfect portrayal of Michael Moore. The rest of the cast is also superb. The ghosts are played by Chriss Anglin as John F. Kennedy, Kelsey Grammer as General George S. Patton, Jon Voight as George Washington, and Trace Adkins as the Angel of “Freaking” Death.
The cast also includes James Woods as Malone’s agent, Leslie Nielsen as the narrator and himself, Dennis Hopper as a judge, Geoffrey Arend as Mohammed, Gary Coleman as a slave, Robert Davi as Aziz, Simon Rex as himself, Paris Hilton as herself, Bill O’Reilly as himself, and Trace Adkins shows up as himself too.
Movie With A Good Message
The United States of America is not perfect, but it’s still the best country in the world, and it is under attack not just by liberals, but by terrorists who have been at it since at least 1993, when the World Trade Center was first attacked. In An American Carol, Malone and the audience are taken back for a look at the smoking ruins at Ground Zero as a reminder of what we’re fighting.
At one point, the movie has Bill O’Reilly interviewing Malone and Rosie O’Connell. As O’Reilly shows clips of an insane “documentary” on 9/11 produced by O’Connell, a still unrepentant Malone begins to grow uncomfortable being lumped in and interviewed with the truly unhinged O’Connell.
Pro-American movies are an endangered species, but An American Carol restores some hope that things could get better. This is a movie that I didn’t leave feeling ripped off, or that I had just paid ten bucks for some liberal brain-washing drivel.
There’s an interesting review at NewsMax:
To hear David Zucker tell it, making a Republican-friendly Hollywood film is like plotting a coup: You plan it in secret meetings, quietly recruit conservative actors, and launch before anybody realizes what’s happening.
“You sort of feel like you have to hide it,” says Zucker, director of the new film, “An American Carol,” which opened in theaters Friday. “When you meet, you give each other a secret look — ‘Are you a Republican too?’
Probably Not For Little Kids
An American Carol is rated PG-13 for “rude and irreverent content, and for language and brief drug material.” I’d say PG-13 is about right for the movie. Keep in mind that David Zucker is the man behind hilarious but irreverent and vulgar comedies like Airplane!, the Naked Gun movies, the Scary Movie series, Top Secret!, and My Boss’s Daughter. Funny, but not for little kids.
In fact, the people who most need to see this movie are those in their late teens and college years, as they are the most at risk of anti-American indoctrination.
Bottom Line: An American Carol is a great movie, so go see it.
Besides, it’s got zombies in it.
