Another example of the Liberal Media hard at work.

"Alvin and the Chipmunks" Looks like Citizen Kane" compared to this.

WARNING: Not for the squimish!!!

My thoughts are that it should just go straight to DVD.

Bargain bin, even.

Everyone in the cast is a registered Republican. Its Bill O'Reilly's acting debut. It actually might do well with dumb kids who will see films like this regardless of plot or propaganda. Some idiots might even buy out theatre showings to just to drive the ticket sales up like they do when they buy books in bulk.

Strong potential for worst movie of the year.

Hey, I got nothing against a right-leaning comedy. But could it possibly be funny? A little?

Michael Moore? Even the libs are sick of him at this point.

A Christmas Carol spoof? Um, didn't those die out sometime around when Happy Days was canceled?

lol, but in the trailer, the Michael Moore character sees a pair of butch lesbians and mistakes them for men. Comedy gold!

Poor NotChris Farley. Can you imagine being the third choice for a role behind Larry the Cable Guy and Newman?

Hee Haw looks funnier than this!

Hell, watching Grandpa Jones take a dump would be more entertaining.

Can just imagine the brainstorming sessions. "We'll do a far out stoner comedy, only nobody'll be stoned or into anyting that's not legal, or immoral, unless its really immoral like putting down the great land of ours..." Then they all went to Hooters for lunch, came back and wrote the first draft. "What if the lead is like -- I got it! -- Michael Moore! A SNL take off on Michael Moore, that is, only not SNL, because they're liberal and subversive, but more like something on 2nd City. No, they have a lot of Canadians, and Moore is sort of Canadian. I've got it! It'll be like an R rated Carol Burnette Sketch! We'll get Harvey Korman -- wait, he's dead. Let's go back to Hooters for mararitas -- it's happy hour -- then we'll come back and take another swipe at it..."

If it looked funny, I'd see it. But it looks dreadful.

I'm probably in the minority, but it looks quasi-amusing. And it has Kelsey Grammar...so it can't be *too* bad.

Right Wing Comedy is an oxymoron.

[Unknown User]

It looks almost as funny as that Fox 'daily show' rip off.

I think the proper term is Right Wing "Comedy."

I'm not getting the Rosie O'Connell thing...

This is pathetic, and the article about it linked below make Zucker and Grammer sound like idiots.

[Roscoe]

Posted: 9/23/08 at 12:25pm

Doodle, if they're Republicans, then they are idiots. That's kind of how it works.

[romantico]

Posted: 9/23/08 at 12:27pm

Hollywood has been renamed Bin Laden Land? Man, I hope Zucker never shows his face in Hollywood again. That's REAL smart!

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 9/23/08 at 12:32pm

I understand that, Roscoe...but am always amazed.

Zucker admits to switching parties after 9/11. I guess he showed us!

Grammer's odd statement about how they are the only ones who can see that there are threats to the USA and are willing to talk about it...huh?

Dumb movie from dumb people...it's like a skit from The Lawrence Welk show.

[Roscoe]

Posted: 9/23/08 at 12:42pm

Doodle, I share your disdain for this project. But insulting Lawrence Welk like that is simply uncalled for.

[Unknown User]

Posted: 9/23/08 at 12:44pm

Agreed Roscoe- besides Welk never had "Skits" just hours of beautiful music. You might be thinking of Hee Haw.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 9/23/08 at 1:00pm

I still watch Larry, so dont tell me! Saturday's at 6pm, repeated Sunday at 4pm.

Skit may be the wrong word...they may be singing, but whenever Mary Lou Metzker or JoAnne Castle are involved...it's a skit!

Here's the first 10 minutes of the film...if you're that brave

Have there been any reviews yet?

I saw the movie today and loved it! It was great comedy. It's funny how you can trash a movie without even seeing....typical lib!
