My wife generally think comedies are stupid. But she wanted to see American Carol to support a rare Hollywood try at patriotism. I love comedies but thought the trailers looked more stupid than funny. The movie wasn't playing wide. But we went and it was worth it. The comedy was great. In the style of Airplane. In a slapstick way, it reminds you that we are at war with extremist nuts who want to kill us for our freedom and misguided idiots are helping the wrong side. It's a fresh take on Dickens tale. Go see it with a liberal.

I just got back from seeing this movie. I know that a lot of the “intellectuals” here will say that this wasn’t that good of a movie. I thought it was nothing short of brilliant. You’ve got to know something about politics or you won’t “get it.” I don’t see the average Kollege Kiddie “getting” this movie since they have no knowledge of American history or politics. I’ll be purchasing the DVD as soon as it’s released.

Hubby and I and our son saw it today. It’s worth seeing and has some really hilarious moments.

Hubby and I just saw it early evening. All seats sold out for this show, even in front rows!!!

This theater is in a "well-heeled," stylish outdoor mall area (AMC 20 Town Center).

Only real offensive part in my personal opinion (granted I've not seen many so-called "comedy" movies in past number of years, is that they do have children speaking foul language and playing handicapped children who get "dissed" by "Michael Malone" character.

Grammer is brilliant as Patton, Voight was truly a "life-like" Geo. Washington and Kevin Farley a truly disgusting "Michael Malone."

Whoever they used as their "Rosie" was as offensive and nuts as the real, offensive and disgusting nut, Rosie.

Just back from the theater. There was a pretty good crowd there and everyone seemed to enjoy the movie. Even my wife liked it, and she's not a fan of Airplane style humor. (The low part of the night happened just before the movie started — the preview to that POS “W”.) American Carol had some brilliant and funny scenes! Go see it!

Just got back from seeing An American Carol, it started off a little off, but quickly warmed up and was quite funny for most of the movie. The parts which were not funny were emotionally moving and poignant. This is a movie I will see again and again I think. I highly recommend this movie for any American. Also, perhaps it would be good for democrats to see it also, might be able to convert some to being American again.

Not an empty seat in the house tonight at the 7:40 pm showing Saw Mill 10 Multiplex theater in Westchester N.Y. right in Hillary’s back yard. I broke down during the scene when they opened the doors to Saint Pauls Church in Manhattan.If you liked the deserving mockery of buffoon terrorists you should check out Jeff Dunham’s video “Achmed the dead terrorist”.Google it out. “I Keel You!”
