An American Carol

[Proud Faroese]

I usually dont watch new comedies as they mostly just contains sex and swearing, but today i saw a trailer for a movie that looks really funny and also patriotic, anyone here who have seen this one and wants to give their opinion on it?

At a July 4 barbecue, gramps tells the kids the story of Michael Malone, a documentary filmmaker and Michael Moore look-alike who hates America and wants to abolish July 4th. He refuses to celebrate with his nephew Josh, who's shipping out soon to the Middle East. That night, Michel has a vision of his hero, JFK, who predicts that three ghosts will visit Michael. Sure enough, General Patton, George Washington, and country music star Trace Adkins visit Michael show him the fruits of patriotism, just wars, and pacifism. Meanwhile, Arab terrorists want Malone to help them with a propaganda film. Is he the next Leni Riefenstahl or will he see the light?

Interesting premise, but a little fantastical. How can the ghost of JFK visit anybody when he's busy roasting in Hell for being a Catholic?

Because its a comedy, making fun of the anti-American commie Michael Moore, this movie has to be watchable for Christians since its aprooved by the Republicans

An American Carol was strongly advertised by notable Republicans and conservative personalities such as Rush Limbaugh,[9] Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and Mark Levin. On October 3, 2008, actors Kevin Farley and Kelsey Grammer appeared on the Fox News program The O'Reilly Factor to promote their film, in which show host Bill O'Reilly made a guest appearance. An American Carol has also been described by newspapers such as the Dallas Morning News as being "for the right wing".[10] The American Conservative reported, "The movie has been promoted by bloggers on National Review Online. The Leadership Institute, an activist group that maintains contact with College Republicans nationwide, urged its charges to see the movie on opening weekend, even handing out tickets to its interns.

With all those Godless hellywood porn comedies like "American Pie"(how dare they insult American Pies like that?!) that has lots of anti American and gay enabling values its good if we finally get a really funny Republican Christian comedy that we can laugh at without being offended, we Christians have the right to laugh as well!

So, we know twice as much effort went into the Christian film, and it made more than 3 times as much money? Praise!
