An American Carol
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. It is a gag-filled lampoon of liberals 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 parody named Michael Malone. "An American Carol" mixes the narrative of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" with Fox News fodder.[1] Many highly recognized Hollywood actors star in the film including Kelsey Grammer, Dennis Hopper, Jon Voight, Robert Davi, and Leslie Nielsen with Cameo appearances by Bill O'Reilly, James Woods and Paris Hilton.
Besides spoofing Michael Moore, 'An American Carol' roasts jihadists, Rosie O'Donnell, college professors, Neville Chamberlain, Adolf Hitler, President Jimmy Carter, chanting protesters and the ACLU. Zucker co-wrote the film with Myrna Sokoloff and Lewis Friedman. Zucker directed the previous hit comedies 'Airplane!', 'The Naked Gun' and 'Scary Movie 3 & 4'.
Zucker’s sense of humor
In a scene which shows anti-war protesters chant, “Peace now. We don't care how!” as they carry signs that read:
- End Violence — War Is Not the Answer!
- End Disease — Medicine Is Not the Answer!
- It's Too Dark Outside — The Sun Is Not the Answer!
- Overpopulation — Gay Marriage Is the Answer!
