The conservatives sure got out to support this one this weekend. Maher’s anti-Christian movie did just as well as this pro-America movie. Pretty disappointing. I guess we’ll continue to see the liberal version of America from Hollyweird. At least it makes money.

I just came back from seeing it. It was cute and I’d buy the video too.

Busy this weekend...have to go next. Had to work Saturday, don’t do movies on Sunday. Give us conservatives alittle time. :)

I live near Stamford CT and the nearest theater that is playing An American Carol is at least 10 miles away. They are not making it easy for us to see it!

We discussed seeing “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” this weekend, but my mom thought it looked dumb.

One of the problems is its limited release.
Many of us will have to travel to see it.
I am going this week.

By the way, here in Brooklyn - a borough of over 2.5 MILLION PEOPLE, there is only ONE - count ‘em ONE - theater showing this movie...
Even in Staten Island, the ONLY borough in New York City that is majority Republican, only one theater is showing it.

Not yet showing in my area. Maybe next week. Or the week after. Or whenever it is finally shown out here, in the hinterlands.

Decent turnout for the film in Johnson City, TN, but not as much as I’d hoped. I enjoyed the film.

I thought it was very funny, but actually, it's even funnier to me now. As I see things on tv or read about events, a scene from the movie will pop into my mind and I'll crack up. Like, I saw something about MoveOn.org. It was called MooveAlong.org in the movie. (as in moo). I think that was the beauty of the movie. It's how it makes you perceive the left, and it stays with you.

We just got back from the 3 PM showing.

Only 19 people in the house, but it was funny.

The ACLU zombies slew me.

Sit through the credits for the last word from Grandpa.

I don’t need to rush out and watch a movie on opening weekend to validate my ideology, unlike the supporters of left wing Hollytripe.

You go to see a movie if you think you’ll like it, and if you don’t have anything you’d rather do at the time.

The bright spot is that both ‘An American Carol’ and ‘Religulous’ make fun of Muslims from different sides of the aisle. The Anti-Religion Left should really get behind the fight against Radical Islam.

Eagle Eye was good.

An American Carol fell flat. It was funny in spots, but that was it. It seemed kind of blah.

You don’t want to see “Beverly Hills Chihuahua?” I thought it looked cute, just from what was on the Charlotte Observer’s movie notes :-).

I doubt we’ll see it, though, now that Mom’s gone home. The little children only go to the movies if Grandmama takes them or if we’re on vacation. Since Anoreth can drive, she takes Bill to movies sometimes.

Saw it, loved it, and highly recommend it. It was fascinating how they worked so many angles and evoked so many emotions. This was produced by people who really get conservatism.
