Comments on: An American Carol http://www.moviezeal.com/an-american-carol/ The official podcast of MovieZeal.com, where film is always best discussed under the gentle influence of fine wine (as fine as $10 will get you). Each week Evan, Heather, and Luke pick a theme, discuss a theatrical release based on that theme, pop the cork and drink a wine that fits said theme, and finally subject one another to The Gauntlet, where forcing others to watch painful films nets you fabulous prizes. There is not anything else on the internets like it (literally).

You undoubtedly know methods to bring an issue to light and make it important. Extra folks need to read this and perceive this facet of the story. I cant consider youre not more fashionable because you positively have the gift.

But - in one way I'm fine with it. Michael Moore doesn't own the license for propaganda/spoof "documentaries", and in this case I think (ahem, maybe "fear") that this film aligns with a lot more people than are willing to admit.

Firstly, I'm not sure why you think there's a double standard here. Can you point to a "liberal spoof" film that we've praised? Or are your comments meant in a more general sense? Do you honestly think Luke ripped this film for it's political views? Or did he trounce it, rightly so, for its unbelievably shoddy craftsmanship? We're not primarily interested in politics here, but in great storytelling. Give me a great story and I'll happily sit and watch it even if I disagree with it's political premise. Show me a turd and I don't care how far it is in my idealogical camp, I don't want to watch it. Daniela, thanks for dropping by!

While some of the jokes were stale, most of the humor was clever and relevant. I don't think he meant to accomplish anything with it except exaggerate the quirks of the radical liberals for laughs, just as other movies (like 'W') exaggerate the quirks of an unpopular conservative president for laughs. Please, put the double standard aside. I don’t see why critics are holding this film to different standards than they would liberal spoof films.

I'm sorry partly because your dad and I spent good money and actually went to a theater to see it. As in your experience, there were not many people there (though there were more than three) and nobody laughed. Your dad, who was really hopeful about the movie beforehand, said afterwards that he DID laugh, "just not out loud." I think part of the problem is that many of those who would appreciate the political views of the movie do not enjoy the foul language and crudeness it employs. It's almost like they try to out-Moore Michael Moore in some unfortunate in-your-face ways. And your right--they're late on the uptake.

I'm surprised you actually subjected yourself to it. That is one sad “New & Reviewed In Theaters” bar up top there, and this one just caps it off.
