Mies ja alaston ase -elokuvien isän David Zuckerin vauhtikomedian pilkkakirveen kohteita ovat kohudokumenttien ohjaaja Michael Moore ja periamerikkalainen arvomaailma, jota Moore töissään kyseenalaistaa. Kertomus käynnistyy grillijuhlista, joissa isoisä (Leslie Nielsen) päättää kertoa lastenlapsilleen tarinan miehestä, joka vihasi USA:n itsenäisyyspäivää sydämensä kyllyydestä. (Nelonen Media)

I think I know what Zucker was trying to get at, but he does it in such a damn unfunny and insipid way that most of the world promptly blasts him with such terrible reviews. Even if you really want a better critique of contemporary America, you also won't find it in Michael Moore’s films.

"It's getting harder and harder to find suicide bombers. All the good ones are dead." Big surprise. I didn't get such fits of laughter as I did during the opening set in Afghanistan by the end of the film (well, except for the video about radical Christians), but An American Carol still entertained me greatly and intelligently by today's poor parody standards. I was glad to see that David Zucker still has "it" and that timing gags is not a dirty word for him. I'd say it's a bit like Monty Python's Life of Brian (and not just because of one scene with a fanatical, unthinking crowd). For it is astonishingly easy to both hate and love the highly satirical An American Carol.__P.S. All Leslie Nielsen fans must watch the credits until the end.
