That all sounds about exactly the same as every liberal protest I attended during the Bush Administration.

Well, every movement is going to have it's outliers. The difference here is that this movement is essentially being led by them.

"Super Bowl of Freedom"? More like Toilet Bowl of Wingnuts.

Oh boy. David Zucker of Airplane!, The Naked Gun series, Top Secret!, KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE....what hath become of you?

That movie looks.......about as bad as you'd think a conservative comedy could be. But worse. So much worse.

Sad.

@two squatting women: When I heard that the David third of the legendary ZAZ was making as "conservative comedy" (that they had to actually use the qualify the word 'comedy' should have been a big red flag to those not in the choir that it wasn't really one … kind of like songs and albums with the words 'rock and roll' in them blow) I felt the same sort of despair that I used to fell when I'd find out that hot supermodels became conservative as they aged (but were still hot).

It's a little hard to describe, actually.

The most amusing thing about the apres-release reaction for "An American Carol" was the boasts about further "conservative comedies" from Zucker – until it became obvious that the movie was teh suck, and left out that one essential ingredient for comedy - it had no detectable humor. Obvious jabs at hack jokes and strawmen do not teh funnay make.

Now indeed it can be told: the real reason "conservative" films don't get play isn't because Hollywood is liberal (which it always is until conservatives need it for money or publicity).

It's because they blow.

Agreed. These comedies fail because they're missing the core ingredient-humor. To wit, the Half Hour Comedy Hour-fox news' answer to The Daily Show. Don't remember it? No one does, either. It was a humorless display of failure.

The worst part of Zucker's fall from great comedy heights is how baselessly inane is his (and the movie's) commentary. When you start with the premise that Moore (and all liberals) "hate America," you're just another dumbass conservative clod who once made great movies. Nothing more.
There's certainly room for a Michael Moore parody that could work on some level, and could make money. But Zucker's got no clue how to do it. It seems he's blinded by retarded ideology. Good luck with that, dickbag. I doubt he'll make any money on that load of a film.
