Review of An American Carol (2008) by Dennis U — 04 Oct 2008

Now as a moderate liberal/libertarian from Canada I figured out early on that I am not the target audience for the film (If it wasn't for a buddy of mine I would have never bothered.) but let me tell you that my views of An American Carol doesn't have as much to do with the politics as much as it does with the laziness the once very gifted David Zucker puts into the movie. (Cause Bush jokes are too lazy they needed something fresh like a bunch of Michael Moore fat jokes no one has ever done that before.).

Now lets face it the spoof genre hasn't been going to great in the last couple of years and just because looks for a different demographic (Angry old upper class white men versus teens with too much cash.) An American Carol doesn't aim to bring it back to its former glory. Instead just tries to proclaim that if you ever question the government and their methods you are a dirty traitor to your country and a terrorist lover. So in the end its just proof that its not only liberals in hollywood that can make themselves look like self righteous, narrow minded jackasses. Now this could have been forgiven if it was a funny film, but on both accounts it isn't. You sure showed them David Zucker.
