An American Carol Audience Reviews

Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
cbl12 Offensive in some ways, and Historically unfair on Neville Chamberlain, whom I admired for not wanting war, considering the horror the Great War had been, but he is maligned unfairly by many Historians, yet JFK himself stuck up for him in his book. I will admit I am also not certain about some of the Historical claims made in this Film. But it is interesting these days that Hollywood would even bother trying to show a more Conservative point of view, which I think is about time, although I will admit it would have been better had it been in a more serious film. I am prepared to admit that not everything in Hollywood is made by Liberals, but it seems that a fair bit is. Only now are some people moaning about this when one finally gets a film that does not entirely slam Conservative values when no one cares about all the Liberal rubbish we have to sift through that comes out of Hollywood especially. As I admitted, this is not always the case, but if Hollywood does have a Liberal lean, which I know it does, it is their choice, but at least have the decency to admit it - which also goes for those Conservatives also who put their slant on things. To me, this film hit the nail right on the head. What, are Lefties upset about the apparent Right of Centre opinions in here, or even the fact that those who disagree with the Liberal Left should even have one ? Get over it. You may think you can brainwash everybody, but some of us like to think for ourselves. I am not an American, and I have admiration for the good things about both Your major Parties, and do not endorse one or the other, as my views are a bit of a mix. I agree with the idea of Universal Health Care, and if the Rich Right do not want that, then pay your workers a decent wage, and make sure there are jobs for everyone. On the other hand, I do believe in traditional Christian values, and will admit that a lot in this Movie was not Christian, but I do not believe in forcing Christianity on people - it is always meant to be a choice. It just seems that when we Conservatives are genuinely expressing our own ideas, you assume we are deluded, just because we disagree. If you can think for yourself and come to your beliefs that way, fine, but at least have the courtesy to extend that to others who may disagree - I do.
heartstream This was an incredible disappointment! I have seen some bad comedies but this one made top 10 very fast. I could rant on here for a long, long time about cheap shots without finesse, bad acting and many more things since this movie is basically to 99%, constructed of complete crap, but I'll simply sum it up like this....It's not funny at all, it's just embarrassing...period!Since I have to put more words here to post ill simply do this....Now when you have come to the bottom here.....I can guarantee......This is actually more fun than watching this movie.....Yes, it's really that bad......=)
Brian Humby I rarely write reviews, and I almost never vote negatively for films I have seen which were... less than good. But I found myself to be offended at least 10 times by this film in the 25 minutes I was allowed to watch it (my girlfriend made me switch the station during the "college professor" scene). This movie seems to be the ultimate decider as to whether someone is a conservative or a liberal. I consider myself neither. I think both sides have a lot of work to do. But it seems pretty obvious that if you are a conservative, you will like this movie. If you lean to the left, you will hate it, but the most important thing to take away from this film is that it is a perfect insight into the mind of conservatives. And it is intensely unintelligent. I think this movie was awful, but I would recommend that everyone see it. Conservatives: so that you can confirm that which you already believe, and Liberals: so that you can understand, a little more exactly, how strangely these people think. I have lost all respect for everyone who participated in this film. It's a shame, too. I loved Chris Farley as a child, and it's sad to see his brother doing this awfully. Kelsey Grammar used to seem intelligent to me. He no longer does. Leslie Nielson probably had no idea what was going on around him while filming this. I don't even know... I'm just depressed now.Good luck, Brian
Hardylane This could genuinely be one of the worst movies I've ever, ever seen. Jaw-droppingly, horrifying right-wing, with not one single redeeming feature. Compulsive viewing because... I just couldn't believe what I was seeing, and whether or not there was some kind of tongue-in-cheek satirical payoff... but there wasn't. Just a non-stop humourless onslaught against anything, or anyone, who opposes the extremist right- wing agenda of the likes of Palin, Limbaugh, Fox News, Ex-Pres Bush, Beck and the countless other neo-con idiots that are making American into a global laughing stock.David Zucker is one of those bizarre Americans who transformed themselves, mutant-like, from a comedy satirist into a neo-con right- wing mouth-foaming bigot after the WTC attack.Every single second of this movie is spent ripping anyone even remotely humanist or left-wing. It extols the virtues of "shoot first, ask questions later", in the name of its blind, moronic worship of the grand turgid, bloated monster that is right-wing America.Freedom comes in one flavour, and with only one set of rules; do as we say, believe what we believe, or we'll shoot you.I would have switched it off had I not been so frozen by it's stunning offensiveness.This is a movie that makes the USA dumber just by existing.Seriously, David Zucker, you've turned into one disgusting human being.
