Product Description

 
Director David Zucker (AIRPLANE, NAKED GUN) returns to the satire genre with AN AMERICAN CAROL. The political spoof stars Kevin Farley (brother of the late comedian Chris Farley) as Michael Malone, a left-wing documentary filmmaker with a strong likeness to the controversial real-life Michael Moore. The world has long put up with Malone's cynical films and so-called liberal antics. But when he announces his plans to abolish the Fourth of July, the consensus is that he's finally gone too far. Can the three spirits who arrive to haunt Mr. Malone change his stubborn world view? Kelsey Grammer plays one of the three ghosts intent on bringing out Malone's patriotic side through a series of wild adventures filled with celebrity cameos by Gary Coleman, Leslie Nielsen, and Dennis Hopper, to name a few. Malone may still have a loyal fan following, but for this trip he's all on his own. A cross between A CHRISTMAS CAROL and films like SCARY MOVIE, AN AMERICAN CAROL uses ghosts as the main vehicle for its pro-Ameri...

Sweet Home America

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2009
The Bottom Line: USA! USA! USA!
Review: Now here's something you don't see every day - a patriotic Hollywood movie! I kid, I kid. An American Carol was never a theatrical feature movie, so I don't know anything about a Hollywood backstory. I don't know if it came from Hollywood or not...

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2009
The Bottom Line: What Dickens did for the Christmas spirit, this film will do (or, it hopes to do) for American patriotism.  Well worth seeing.
Review: AN AMERICAN CAROL (2008) must not be confused with a smattering of other movies that attempt to Americanize the Dickens Christmas classic.  Oh yes, it does borrow an idea from Dickens but it has nothing to do with Xmas.  In fact, this is one of the...

Satirical Misfire

An American Carol - a Michael Moore spoof
5/5 stars
The movie An American Carol is a funny movie. Kevin Farley plays Michael Malone a direct take on Michael Moore. This movie is from the producer of The Naked Gun movies and airplanes and contains the same type of humor. Pros: Funny, especially in a few key parts Cons: Brief scenes were a little bit on the lame side, but they were short.

From David Zucker, the director of The Naked Gun and Airplane!, comes a bare-knuckle comedy where no one is safe from the onslaught of lunacy! When obnoxious director Michael Malone (Kevin Farley) organizes a Ban on the 4th of July campaign, his efforts are upended by a gang of spirits from America s past. Zucker roasts a herd of sacred cows in this latest parody featuring an all-star cast.
