I've never done a movie review but I've never seen a movie quite like this.
So in keeping with the normal method I need a catchy, personalized, numeric system.
Okay, I give it:
Five plasma blasts.

"What is 'An American Carol?'" you ask. It is a (almost entirely unmarketed, of course) movie by the creator of The Kentucky Fried Movie and Airplane where the modern left is hilariously lampooned.
My, that sounded so pompous it could almost be professional. So I'll skip the rest.
Run. Do not walk. Run to the movie theater. (Well, drive fast.) Do this now.
What are you people doing still sitting in front of a computer?!
Stand up, grab your spouse or SO, grab your car-keys and GO!
MOVE IT! MOVE IT! MOVE IT!
Seriously, I don't think I've ever laughed that hard at anything. Yes, it had a few painful moments but they were mostly pain in my head and sides. (I get headaches when I laugh alot. I've got a killer now. But it was worth it.)
Some of the funniest stuff in it is small and hard to catch. Watch the ambulances driving by after the courtroom scene. And the group that was in my theater clearly wasn't up on modern Leftist politics. They didn't get a quarter of the jokes.
'Just...quit chanting for a second!'
'FOR A SECOND! FOR A SECOND!'
'That doesn't even make sense!'
And the ACLU zombies... God, I wish!

Alas, even conservative Hollywood has one thing sort of dead wrong. Being conservative does not require that you enjoy country. I could wish they'd heard of Avenged Sevenfold. Cruxshadows would be a bit much.
But it's a fantastic movie. Totally out of the park. It's nearly as unPC as Blazing Saddles, put it that way.
And the 'plantation' scene is just hilarious.
Go see it. Now. It's how ever much well spent.
Hava negila, hava negila...

PS: Wow! Go figure! It's getting panned by the critics!
