Hilarious, Outrageous Satire on Michael Moore which made me laugh out loud loads - 5 stars - Big Fat Important Movie review by PV
This is known as AMERICAN CAROL in the USA with its clear references to Dicken's A Christmas Carol, a man being led by characters/ghosts to see the past and imagined future and learn from it.
I have awarded this 5 stars because it made me laugh out loud several times - genuine laughs. That does not happen much these days with Hollywood films.
Never seen this listed on UK TV - maybe too controversial and 'offensive' (wahwah boohoo diddums). I loved it! The world has declined so much in 15 years though, caught the mind virus of woke and then so, so maybe this is banned from TV.
I'd compare it to TEAM AMERICA - WORLD POLICE and maybe FOUR LIONS. I suppose as it is made in 2008 it references Michael Moore's 2004 film - but this is not that dated as many issues are relevant now. See the Brit/West/US hating anti-Israel marches right now. No different.
I thought it was great though a shame no English subtitles and I missed some muttered dialogue.
I thought it was so imaginative - the future vision of Hollywood was a scream! Other characters great. Canadian actor Leslie Nielsen (who had a Welsh mother) at 82 here just a couple of years before his death.
The song 1968 set in a university which brainwashes students to 'think correctly' could be sung now - though these days it is WAY worse what with wokery, BLM, decolonising the curriculum etc.
