Plot: Ebenezer Scrooge gets the parody treatment from veteran writer/director David Zucker (Airplane!, Scary Movie 4) with this comedy starring Kevin Farley as a derisive documentarian (à la Michael Moore) who's visited by three ghosts intent on instilling the American spirit in the disillusioned filmmaker. Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, Leslie Nielsen, James Woods, and Dennis Hopper co-star in the Vivendi Entertainment production. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide

Great movie to watch while Obama destroys America
Added 10/30/2009

We have enjoyed this film and have shared it with others. Even though libs are humorless, we aren't and we enjoy a good laugh films like this can give. Keeping our sanity through our faith in God and humor are weapons the Pelosi's of this world cannot take away no matter how much that b!+@& would like to!

Great American Film
Added 10/29/2009

This movie was great. I have recommended it to all my friends and family who loved this film as well. Obviously this is a comedy where the truth is stretched but the point still comes across. Any patriotic American needs to watch this movie.

GREAT satire !!
Added 10/28/2009

FOR THE CONSERVATIVE AND LIBERTARIAN AT HEART ONE GREAT MOVIE!! It has much crude language that fits the plot and story line . Kevin farley FAR outranks his family gene pool for acting . With few goophy exceptions does a class job of acting . The "CAROL" line works well . About every political group is poked and prodded . You will watch it a second time . TRULY too many small scenes and incidents to catch even the first TWO times thru . Look over the actors list ; long and tremendous .
TOO many to note , but i think my favorite exchange is (farley)"SO now you're against privacy rights?!" (kelsey grammar)"ONLY when they interfere with SURVIVAL RIGHTS!" BLAM!!(shotgun- terrorist shot).
Overall , character Josh , played by an unknown actor, is done to EXCELLENCE . His timing and expressions are perfect, rivaling Kelsey's work . AND NO ONE fumbles in this movie . ALL great acting and the two young "jihadists" that follow thru story line will crack you up .

JUST SEE IT/WATCH IT!!
I could go on and on ! enjoy

"Airplane" of the 21st century
Added 10/26/2009

Hilarious and very spot on, this movie delivers a double dose of comic relief and truth that many people are too closed minded to hear. Great movie that really makes you laugh but think as well.

Not Funny Enough
Added 9/15/2009

I doubt if anybody went into this movie wanting to like it more than me.

It wasn't screened for critics, which didn't surprise me since this was being called a "conservative comedy." Critics are untrustworthy enough without the political angle. It was a later showing but the theatre was very empty for an opening weekend. It was literally me and some couples from Sun City.

Unfortunately, there just were not enough laughs. The actors were definitely there, everyone from Robert Davi to Leslie Nielsen to Kelsey Grammer. Chris Farley's brother has graduated from his funny car rental commercials to carrying an entire movie on his own. He was really good and I hope to see more of him. I also really liked James Woods in his cameo.

I loved some of the ideas. Putting a blowhard like Michael Moore in his place by spoofing his career next to a George Clooney-like clone was excellent--and should give the real Moore a reality check.

I just wish it would've been funnier. It almost hurts to not be enthusiastic about a movie that has so much good going for it. The attitude is there, the message is dead-on, the cast is awesome. Just wish I'd laughed more.

Maybe I should check it out again.
