Kelsey Grammer was remarkably good as Gen. Patton. Chriss Anglin stepped up to the plate as JFK (that's Kennedy), and Robert Davi was a surprisingly believable terrorist. Kevin Farley was too nice to play Michael Malone Moore.
Good movie. It's been a long, long time since we went to the theater. I hope lots of conservatives attend the film this weekend to help the important first weekend ratings.
Well, Mr. sneakers and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie!! Lots of middle-aged/older people, but also families and teenagers. Theater wasn’t full but still lots of people.
It is refreshingly UN-politically correct!!! A real breath of fresh air, though I could have done without the kids swearing!
I agree that the first ten minutes was hilarious! Then it slowed down a bit with lots of hearty yucks and chuckles here and there. (loved the scenes with the aging hippie professors and the terrorist Christians!) The audience laughed and clapped when Michael Malone said (I’m paraphrasing because I can’t remember exactly) “Hollywood. Yeah, lets go there. Hollywood HATES America!” Then it got pretty serious. John Voight was fantastic as Geo. Washington! The G. Washington scene was very moving. At the Trace Adkins concert, it really made your heart swell when Michael Malone looked out into the audience and saw all of the soldiers down through the centuries standing there. Finally, I cried at the part where they went to the nephew’s ship and I saw all those sailors! My son is stationed in Japan and I haven’t seen him in over a year, so it was kind of hard seeing all the sailors boarding their ship.
At the end, the audience really clapped!
You won’t see this movie at the oscars, but that doesn’t matter. This little movie has a bigger, more important message, and I hope that, even if it doesn’t bring in the mega-bucks at the box office, it’s message gets into homes all across America as people buy the DVD and their kids see it. Hopefully, the message will sink in.
Now - I wonder how the muzzies will like it!
And do we really care? ;-)
We just got home from watching it. Probably the best thing about this movie was being in a theater full of quiet, normal, polite people.
has anyone seen Bella?
I went to the 7:30 pm showing last night (Friday). It was a good size crowd. About 75 or 80 per cent of the average sized theater was full. The crowd was appreciative of the whole flick. The most uproarious laughter came when the ACLU zombie-lawyers were being blasted with shotguns and rifles. Also, the bit about the “fanatical Christian terrorists” drew a big response. Bottom line — I liked the movie.
Here is something that both ticked me off and amused me at the same time. Prior to the show, there were only 2 trailers of coming features shown. They were “W” and “Frost/Nixon” — two rabidly anti-conservative hit pieces posing as true-life dramas and not satire or parody. Someone had obviously made a conscious decision to cram such bile down the throats of the audience who they knew would be mainly conservatives. The only response from the crowd was mild laughter at the obvious ploy.
