  • Eric · 1 year ago
    That looks REALLY funny. Much better than that Disaster, Disaster Movie
  • Sam R. · 1 year ago
    Funny that you mentioned David Zucker, Peter. I just used "Airplane" as an example of a parodical work done right in a comment to sir jorge under "Batman's New Batmobile". XD
  • Chris · 1 year ago
    Don't give him that much credit, Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams had a lot to do with Airplane! too.
  • Kip Mooney · 1 year ago
    Uhh...Could have been worse. I think I'll still see it (dollar theater or rental), just because someone's gotta satirize the far left. I just wish it was sharper. Come on, Parker and Stone! Make a Team America sequel or something!

    sounds horrible.
  • radiantarchon · 1 year ago
    sounds great. michael moore needs to get made fun of more. most of his films make uwe boll look like a genius (the columbine one was sort of okay).

    Haw Haw Haw All the middle Eastern people are called Muhammed.
    Haw haw haw and they all have the same last name ha ah I love satire.

    Did anyone notice that the "Master of Movie Satire" statement was a direct quote from David Zucker himself?
  • Guest · 1 year ago
    Finally, the vapid political jokes of 2003 - in 2008!

    David Zucker should confess to living under a rock, and admit that he got brain damage from the rock hitting him.

    Can't support any project that pays Bill O-Reilly , sorry.

    Pathetic timing.
  • Nick R · 1 year ago
    I was hoping this would look much better. But oh well. I'm just incredibly happy someone has decided to finally mock the out of touch with reality far left and the completely retarded michael moore. God I hate him.
  • voxpop88 · 3 days ago
    Nick R, don't be a "hater" !, and you would be well-advised not to mention "hate" and "God" in the same sentence.

    The Left may seem 'out of touch' to you, because I seriously question whether you actually read books- a common weakness of right-wingers.

    Nick, find your "inner reader," and you may indeed find yourself out of touch with your former non-reading bovine-minded herd.

    Peace, Read Good Books, and also good magazines like The Nation (thenation.com)

  • NIdWId6I8 · 1 year ago
    Agreed...anything that Bill O'Reilly supports is a guaranteed bad idea...except maybe phone sex...yeah phone sex is alright.
  • Michael Carrig · 1 year ago
    A lot of big time Hollywood conservatives in this one.
  • orange cinema · 1 year ago
    Liberals & conservatives can finally unite behind the fact that this just looks like a really bad movie.
  • The Walrus · 1 year ago
    geez this even makes Swing Vote look good...
  • Pentarix · 1 year ago
    Wow what a steaming pile of shit. I can't believe some people said that this looks good!?
  • Graniteman · 1 year ago
    I can't wait to see this film. Can liberals stand the heat? The only possible flaw in this film is that poking fun at Michael Moore is too easy.
  • Jmoney · 1 year ago
    Am I dreaming or was that Robert DeNiro sitting beside the guy talking about finding suicide bombers?
  • CJ · 1 year ago
    ya that is alot of conservatives inone movie
  • Erin · 1 year ago
    I think it looks fun and refreshing. It's about time someone had the guts to spoof the left and I think that Americans really want to be able to laugh off some of the cynicism that has poisoned our culture since 9/11 (what I mean is, that we have been told by Moore, Hollywood and the media to feel guilty and embarrassed about our country). This film may not contain some of the most high- brow humor, but at least it's a step in the right direction in terms of lightening up on the political correctness.
  • Bob · 1 year ago
    looks better than most crap spoof movies these days
  • Jonesy · 1 year ago
    Id be interested in seeing this (I cant stand Michael Moore), but I cant stand blowhard Bill O'Reilly either. I dont like the far-left or the far-right.
  • Steve · 1 year ago
    I haven't laughed so much at a trailer since Spy Hard. I just hope I'm close to one of the measely 2000 theatres!
  • ezekial · 1 year ago
    The movie doesn't even seem like a spoof.

    Oh well, as long as it is funnier than Date, Epic, Spartan, and Disaster Movie, I'm fine with that.
  • Chromey · 1 year ago
    @ Jonesy

    I'm with ya buddy.
  • FuelHokie · 1 year ago
    That was actually pretty funny, I expected less after reading the article. It's good to see a movie that is not led by the far left no offense to those people but its a good to balance that out which is benefit for everybody.
  • AheadOfTheCurve · 1 year ago
    This movie needs an enema!
  • Klunni · 1 year ago
    Now that's slapstick!
  • Jintro · 1 year ago
    Bleh. doesn't seem very inspired to me. Then again, I'm European, so I suppose I'm prejudiced =')

    Has anyone in the Moore-hater camp actually seen, say, Bowling for Columbine? If not, see it. The man has some pretty accurate things to say. And I agree, he's not the most subtle or intelligent being on the face of the earth, but he touches on some things that needed to be touched on.
  • Jon · 1 year ago
    Opposing torture is not "political correctness".

    This movie looks like a crock of Bill O'Reilly's loofa scrubbings--slimy. Looks about as funny as Disaster Movie, Epic Movie and Date Movie combined. If the prints were stolen and burned to cinders.

    And America really is screwed up if they think something needs to balance out the mythical "far left". We've got center and reactionary in this country and a handful of heroic oddballs like Russ Feingold, Dennis Kucinich and Ralph Nader who are trying to put up some firewalls between you and the people who will poison you or kill you to make a buck. You'd have better luck balancing out unicorns. If you truly want to "balance out the far left", try using a paperweight. Christ, get a sense of perspective. There hasn't been a left since the eighties.
  • nope · 1 year ago
    Moore IS a blowhard, BUT this movie looks absolutely terrible, and bill o'rielly is one of America's worst human beings. FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE
  • peter · 1 year ago
    Er...this looks...er...

    Running joke "...so like Michael Moore is fat and uh, coutry mus stars like America more then him!...yeah!..er..
  • J.D. · 1 year ago
    BiG FAiL. Obviously, this movie is not seeking to get liberals at the box office. They hope that conservatives will flock to the movie because it is one of the FEW movies that mock liberals.

    Unfortunately for the filmmakers, most conservatives don't think that Moore's anti-Americanism is just a "joke." They don't find suicide bombers to be "comedy." So not too many conservatives will go to the movie either.

    Result is failure.
  • Bobcat · 1 year ago
    @ Jintro -

    I'm from Colorado and had a relative die at Columbine. Moore's "documentary" hardly has "some pretty accurate things to say"... it's a crock and rather disgusting at that. But maybe I'm biased, ha.
  • Diane · 1 year ago
    Love the trailer - can't wait to see the movie! Great cast! I worked with Moore years ago on a project - he's probably one of the worst people in the U.S.A. He is a total ego-maniac. He says he makes documentarys but that is a joke. He doesn't know the meaning of the word - if he did - his movies would be completely unbiased - giving both sides equal time and letting the viewers make their own decision as to what they believe.
  • duca · 1 year ago
    Maybe it's because I'm Canadian, but I just don't 'get' it. I didn't even crack a smile during the trailer. I actually found a lot of it offensive, although that could again just be me not 'getting' the humour...? How is perpetuating negative stereotypes about lesbians and Middle Eastern culture a good thing for your society?

    I suppose the main things is why the hell would I watch a movie that would consist of two hours of "America is NUMBER ONE!!! EXTREME!!!"? Yeah, I think I'll pass.
  • Harrison and Steve · 1 year ago
    a film about michael moore jokes ? in 2008? with bill oreilly?

    this ...will... bomb. conservative movies never win at the box office

    cant wait for keith olberman to destroy this.
  • Bull · 1 year ago
    C'mon David Zucker, this does not look funny at all. Kevin Farley? Jesus.
  • Roberto · 1 year ago
    F-L-O-P

    Looks VERY stupid. So now we got stupid shit coming from the left AND right. So basically, we're screwed.
  • Josh · 1 year ago
    I will see this at least once, if not several times. It's about time someone made a decent film with a budget lampooning the left. We've had several left-biased movies just last year (rendition, lions for lambs, stop-loss, Elah, Grace is Gone, etc etc) , time for some balance!
  • Slipstream · 1 year ago
    Dennis Hopper is a busy man of late. He seems to have a lot of films coming out and events to attend. I just got his voice on my GPS from Navtones.com. Is there anything this man can’t do?
  • Paul · 1 year ago
    Hahahaha! right on the bull's eye! if the far left wimps can have movies like lions for the lambs, moore's Fahrenheit, etc., and got away with it, then this movie is to even the playing field a bit... no one can force the left loonies from watching this nor can we stop them from criticizing it, but hey, it's a democracy you morons. you dont have to believe, but at least some of us will be laughing! =)
  • Larry · 1 year ago
    I had the perk of seeing a rough cut of the film last month, at a test screening. While not the funniest film ever, there were a number of times during which I spontaneously roared with laughter and burst into applause. For context, my views are largely center-right. I was invited to the screening because I like Dennis Prager and in fact run a monthly Prager listener group. The test audience were pre-selected and were likely all or nearly all right of center; they had a strong positive reaction. The film's viewpoint is that America is a remarkably good place, compared with countries around the world and down thru history. Especially memorable is the depiction of ACLU lawyers as night-of-the-living-dead zombies, overrunning courtrooms and police checkpoints, proceeding to corrupt the law and neuter the people who protect us from bad guys (until the zombies have their heads blown off, of course!) I predict that the film will be enjoyed by everyone not far left, and that the film will do well enough.
  • Tim H · 1 year ago
    I've always had my qualms about Michael Moore, but if he winds the wingnuts up so much that they make a whole film about him, he must be doing something right. Can you imagine if a liberal made a film like this, all about Bill O'Reilly or Ann Coulter say? The punditocracy would be screaming bloody murder.

    Well that would certainly eliminate all liberal influence.
  • Kay · 1 year ago
    It's about time someone gets even with Michael Moore and his lies. Way to go conservative Hollywood....can't stand it can you liberals????
  • LN · 1 year ago
    This movie looks hysterical! And the funny thing is, Michael Moore literally has no clue how riduclous he sounds and one easily fogets until you have a well-written satire to remind you that, yes, he IS easy to laugh at! I mean, come on, the line where the Moore character says, "I love America. That's why it needs to be destroyed." That's the irony of how the loony left thinks.
  • Stephen K. Trynosky Sr · 1 year ago
    The left never has had a sense of humor. They're all a wee bit too serious over there but then again, they are the only ones who "care" who "feel the pain" . All us reactionary neanderthal conservatives will never get it, will never see how bad this country really is and how much better the world would be without us. All I can say is if your idea of a hero is Michael Moore, a man who actually enjoyed making fun of an ill Charlton Heston, there is no way you would ever give a movie like this a fair shake. To the left there can be no deviation from the party line. Authoritarians never change!
  • PJM · 1 year ago
    Awesome. I've loved the Naked Gun type genre since watching Kentucky Fried Movie way back when. It's about time we made FUN movies about politics. And it doesnt hurt to make fun of mockable fools like terrorists and leftwing nutcases like Michael Moore in the process.

    But we havent seen a decent political satire since Kubrik's Dr Strangelove. This is so refreshing and different from 99% of what Hollywood produces ("SuperheroMovie IV", "lame ripoff satire of horror movie", "Lets-get-another-70s-TVshow-to-make-a-movie-about"). I'm hooked. It's a must see movie.
  • kd · 1 year ago
    This movie looks hillarious, can't wait to see it.

    What fun it will be to see some fun poked at Mikey (give me) Moore (food). Fat men should be jolly.

    I am happy that we can have some fun with a pack of Mohammads and commrads in Cuba.

    Liberals are so easy to poke fun at, about time someone did.
  • Jim,MtnViewCA,USA · 1 year ago
    I am so there!!!!
    This looks great.
  • Jack · 1 year ago
    liberal conservative who cares not funny is universal. Are the "conservatives" trying to make the statement that conservatives think crap is funny? Liberals must at least have th sense of humor thing on their side
  • Eric · 1 year ago
    This is great about time liberal lefty Hollywood sees how they are perceived by the real America.
  • Willie G · 1 year ago
    What a pleasant surprise to learn that many of the actors in the film are conservative. BTW, I'm Canadian and I love America.
  • Intelligent Response · 1 year ago
    I like how liberal zaniness only exists in a satire movie, but to get a laugh from the conservatives, all you have to do is look at the real people they have running for president.

    Says a lot about the state of the conservatives...
  • MacGruber · 1 year ago
    This steaming turd will be lucky to make $5.
  • Kori · 1 year ago
    Finally, a view the "rest" of us can get behind. I am so tired of Hollywood/Let trashing America and conservatives. This movie will do very well, despite what the hatemongers (left) think.
  • Newshawk · 1 year ago
    It looks like the libs on this site are a mite uncomfortable with "An American Carol". I guess the OT principle of "depending on whose ox is gored" has lifted it's head once again. IOW, get over it, whiners. We on the conservative have to put up with a supertanker load of crap you think is funny. I can't make it opening night, but I plan to see this movie ASAP.
  • Maggie Hatfield · 1 year ago
    I went to see the movie last night.......It is hysterical. I haven't laughed that much at one movie in a long time. Michael got everything he richly deserves in one shot. I don't think they missed any of his character flaws. And the Taliban characters, especially Robert Davi were great. Congratulations Mr. Zucker you have helped restore some faith in Hollywood.
  • Diane · 1 year ago
    I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!! I WISH MORE OF YOU DUMOCRATS WOULD GET THE PICTURE!
