Line 1: − '''An American Carol''' is a movie by director David Zucker released on October 3, 2008. It is a rare comedy made in Hollywood by conservatives, for conservatives. This is a gag-filled liberal lampoon about a cynical, Anti-American “Hollywood” documentary filmmaker leading a slapstick campaign to abolish the Fourth of July. It stars Kevin Farley, brother of the late Chris Farley, as a scruffy Michael Moore clone named Michael Malone. 'An American Carol' mixes the narrative of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" with Fox News fodder. <ref>[http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/american_carol/2008/10/03/137000.html American Carol' Lampoons the Left] NewsMax, October 3, 2008</ref> Many highly recognized Hollywood actors star in the film including Kelsey Grammer, Dennis Hopper, Jon Voight, Robert Davi, and Leslie Nielsen. Cameo appearances by Bill O'Reilly, James Woods and Paris Hilton.
