An American Carol (2008)

This farcical take on the Dickens' tale, stars a strange cast that includes an aged Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, Leslie Nielson, Trace Adkins, Kevin Sorbo, and Dennis Hopper. Kevin P Farley is documentary film maker Michael Malone. His extreme anti-American sentiment has made him the hero of terrorist and they set out to recruit him to improve their image by directing their new recruitment video. On the eve of his Abolish the 4th of July rally, Malone is visited by General George Patton (Grammer), George Washington (Voight), and the Angel of Death (Adkins).

You know the story, but have you ever seen the train wreck? An American Carol is a joke itself. Yes, it succeeds in lazy humor and slight pokes at both the extreme right and left. The biggest surprise is the odd bunch of celebs that pop up. It's crazy and truth be told, that's the only {and funniest} reason to see it. Grammer as Patton--gets the best lines and the ACLU zombies are hysterical.

An American Carol is an easy going spoof. Director David Zucker had to have some stones to not only release something so crazily Pro-America and something to utterly half-assed. As I see it, the film is harmless and sadly, forgettable.
