Knowing that David Zucker (of "Airplane!" fame) produced & directed this, I was anxious to see it. Add Kevin Farley (the late Chris Farley's brother), Leslie Nielson & David Alan Grier, and I thought it was going to be a 'homerun' ...I was wrong. Kevin Farley does a great job spoofing that real-life idiot (Michael Moore) that makes documentaries, but the storyline has his character making a pro-jihad (Muslim extremist) film, so all the comedic attempts were simply jokes that were overplayed years ago - think about it, you've probably heard plenty of "terrorist" jokes, so don't be surprised to see those same jokes acted out in this movie ...what else could they do with a plot about making a pro-jihad movie?

In the beginning there were a few promising jokes, but than the rest of the movie is just a stupid (really brainless) propaganda for right winged ideologies. This movie is not a comedy, it is just a propaganda movie. And worst of all it isn't funny (did I mentioned that already?). I have absolutely no problems with parodies about any kind of political ideologies, but a parody that isn't funny is just a big FAIL. After 30 minutes or so I really started to believe that this whole movie might be a hidden parody about right winged ideologies and fanatic conservative believes, because the ideas they presented were actually so stupid I can't imagine anyone would take them serious. But this doesn't change anything at all: This movie is NOT funny!!!! So if you want to see a movie where you can laugh and have a great time (like with the naked gun films) Don't watch this brainless movie, you will only be disappointed .Read full review
Great movie

This movie is hillarious and should be seen by all. Nice change of pace from the typical Hollywood ideas of current events and movie producers. Michael Moore is Tiny Tim in this carol, and it shows in very funny ways how rediculous his ideas/movies are. Very well done with a refreshing cast of characters. American Carol is not a pro war movie. It might be described more as a 'better defend what you believe in' movie.
great funny movie, to bad hollywood blacked balled it. leslie neielson, great preformance. kelsey grammer and kevin farkey, what more can be said great preformace. like i said too bad they made fun of fat, liberal michael moore
