If you voted for “hope” and change” in the 2008 presidential elections there is a good chance that you will not like this film. However, if you have a conservative bend and you are tired of having the United States run down in movies, TV, etc. then this is your film. Brought to you by the people that gave us Airplane and Naked Gun this story teaches the main character about true patriotism in the style of the Charles Dickens story a Christmas Carol; that is if Dickens were a half-crazed comedy film writer. The picture has some great laugh out loud moments with Kelsey Grammer as Gen. George S Patton (The Ghost of America Past). Be careful, however, for moments of sheer old fashioned patriotism that creep up on you when you least suspect them. The story, however, gets a bit lost at times and the casual audience member might find it a bit confusing. This is the only issue this reviewer has with this wonderful comic relief of a film and cost one star in my rating. Overall, If you are braced for the worst in the present economic and political situation you should buy at least one copy of this DVD as well as one for someone you love and have it on hand to escape the tense moments in history that are sure to be in the days ahead.Read full review
Sure, the plot is a lot like Airplane, but what do you expect. The switch is that this movie is a HUGE departure from liberal nonsense like "Babel" with Brad Pitt. "Carol" pokes fun at Michael Moore/Michael Maloney. It is a tongue in cheek look at issues like gun control, health care, and anything anti-American. This movie is PERFECT for: The staunch Conservative Anyone that believes in freedom Anyone who believes in less government Those who are sick of Michael Moore, Al Gore, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama Those who want to take America back from the idiots and protect her from illegal invasion This movie is one of the finest American movies made. DO NOT watch this one if you: Believe that taking the life of the baby in your womb is YOUR choice Believe that God has no place in America Believe that gay is okay Believe that fur is murder Believe not only in tolerance, but PREFERENCE of Muslim extremism over Christianity Believe that the government is your savior Believe that the rich should be taxed more than the poor Believe that someone else should pay your way through life Believe that Christianity is merely "organized religion" Believe that opening America's borders to all people, no matter what the consequence, is good.Read full review
Great cameos throughout. I saw this in the theatre when it was first released and thought it was a riot. It was released in the post 9/11 era when Hollywood leftists were busy supporting Muslim terrorists in their quest to destroy the US. Because it appeals to conservative leaning viewers, you will never find it on any of the movie channels on cable. I wanted to see it again, so I just bought it. It is still funny and the humor is still on point; perhaps even more so eleven years later. It pokes fun at Michael Moore, Cuba, Columbia University, Soros-style alt-leftists, and all that silly liberal orthodoxy. I still laughed hard. Kevin Farley (Chris's brother) is a good slapstick comedian. Kelsey Grammer rocks as Patton. If you are a brainwashed liberal who reads the NY Times and Huffington Post and believes every word, you will not like this movie.Read full review

I liked seeing a movie poke fun at the loony liberal leftists for a change. Unfortunately some of the scenarios are no more far-fetched than what the LLL's are actually have done, are doing and/or are promoting. Abolishing the 4th of July is less far-fetched than what those "Hell bent on Socialism" turkeys have done or are proposing. My main beef with the movie is that I thought it should actually go further than it did toward showing the ridiculousness of the liberal lunatics. I bought it because I was sick of doofusses like Keith Olbermann, "Tingle Down the Leg" Chris Matthews and other Obama Kool Aid drinkers spewing forth their kind of garbage-laden nonsense; and I wanted to make sure I was well inoculated with the antidote. I would recommend everyone send Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Ted Kennedy a copy of the movie, but I wouldn't spend two cents, let alone several dollars on the whole lot of them. My grandmother had a saying - "not worth the powder to blow their butts to hell" which am I sure she would apply to them if she were alive today, instead of turning over in her grave watching what they're doing to the country her generation fought for.Read full review
VERY FUNNY... VERY PATRIOTIC... THANKS FOR KEEPING IT CLEAN... An American Carol was the best comedy that I've seen in a long time. It is very Patriotic and shows a side of America that the Liberals (hippies)cannot tolerate, What else is new?. If you are anti-American (Someone who hates the Constitution and its amendments that help perfect it, The generations of Americans that built it and the FREEDOMS we enjoy.) This movie will only get on your nerves. I'm an Ex-Paratrooper and really appreciated its real respect and support for the troops. I had a lump in my throat and my eyes swelled during a concert scene, in the audience were the ghosts of soldiers, some wounded from wars including Vietnam, Korea, WWII,WWI, The Civil war and The Revolutionary War. This is what the movie is really all about, a salute to GOD, to our troops, to our heritage and the bravery of our Fathers, Grandfathers and their Forefathers. This movie takes many of the problems in this country caused by EXTREME groups like moveon.org, the a.c.l.u. , liberal universities and their professors and Hollywood types like michael moore that keep stabbing this country and our soldiers in the back and simply pokes good old AMERICAN fun at them. ...(That's why liberals don't like this movie, IT's AMERICAN FUN!!)...Most bad reviews are from your liberal types (People of tolerance, GIVE ME A BREAK!!!) that have never served this great country but enjoy the freedom to be able to criticize everything that displeases them. I hope that you'll see this movie, it is VERY FUNNY and very uplifting. There are many cameo appearances by great actors like James Woods, Jon Voight, Dennis Hopper and more. You may also learn a thing or two about the history of this great country. This is a movie that shows how good America can be instead of the usual movies that show how rotten some people want it to be. Enjoy the show and MAY AMERICA BLESS GOD!!!Read full review
