An American Carol opens Friday
Me ^ | Sep. 30, 2008 | Me

Remember that An American Carol, a conservative comedy, opens this Friday. (Trailer.)

I was part of a webcast with director David Zucker yesterday along with about 60 other people, (oddly enough, since I'm nothing special.) He noted that Bill Maher's Religulous is also opening this weekend. Whether An American Carol beats it or loses in attendance, a message will be sent to Hollywood.

Zucker was also concerned that conservatives are the sort of people who would say "that looks like a great movie. I'm gonna buy the DVD." But Hollywood almost only cares about the opening weekend take. So certainly at least if you were planning to see the movie anyways, drop in this weekend.

Oh, he also mentioned that they aren’t during the normal screenings for reviewers because he doesn’t feel like this sort of movie would get a fair shake. So your favorite reviewer may not be able to see it before you.

I noticed that “rotten tomatoes.com” the movie review site is not carrying any reviews of this movie. In fact, I can't even find it mentioned on the site now, although they did have it on their “coming soon” list about a week ago.

I assume they couldn't stand stand the parodies of their left wing hero's. So they decided to pretend it doesn't even exist.

Unless they know how to find the bittorrent leaks.

I have a 3 year old and no babysitter so my hubby is going to the early show (and buying 4 tickets) and then I am going to the late show (and buying 4 tickets).

The only way to beat Hollywood Libs is with the pocketbook.

No, it just means that they haven't done any critics screenings, which is what the article says.

I have the whole family and some friends going on Saturday. We are going to church, dinner and movies. In that order. We must support this movie. We need to show those filthy, leftwing liberals in Hollywood that, although they might not think so, real Americans still run this country.

I’d love to go, but I haven’t been able to find a list of theaters where it’s playing. If anyone knows of where in Tennessee it will be playing, let me know.
