An American Carol

This movie looks hilarious. Going to go check it out today and just wondering who all had planned on going to see it also. If you're not sure what it is, here's a link to the website and trailer:An American CarolJude 2

I thought we weren't allowed to post political threads anymore....

You gotta be kidding me right? This is the same dude who made Airplane and Scary Movie. It's that stupid but funny satirical slant on whatever they feel like poking fun at the moment. It has Leslie Nielson in it for crying out loud!

It's being advertised as a "right-wing comedy" everywhere I've heard about it and Zucker has been talking about how he became a Republican a few years ago and wanted to make a "conservative" comedy since it's a "risky" move in Hollywood... But besides all that, "Airplane!", "The Naked Gun" and all those were hilarious, but I haven't been too impressed with their stuff lately, like "Superhero Movie" and the last couple of "Scary Movies", so the simple answer is I'll probably be skipping out on it

I made a post praising Saturday Night Live and Tina Fey and it was pulled almost immediately. I would expect this one to go soon too...

It's supposed to be funny and it looks like it is. Sure, there's an underlying message but just about EVERY Hollywood movie has one. I found it interesting that country music star, Trace Adkins I think his name is, is playing the Angel of Death. I'm not a country music fan at all but it's good to see that someone down there has a sense of humor. He performs a song during the movie. Unfortunately, I will conveniently be using the bathroom during his performance. Jude 2
