Movie Description
Director David Zucker (AIRPLANE, NAKED GUN) returns to the satire genre with AN AMERICAN CAROL. The political spoof stars Kevin Farley (brother of the late comedian Chris Farley) as Michael Malone, a left-wing documentary filmmaker with a strong likeness to the controversial real-life Michael Moore. The world has long put up with Malone's cynical films and so-called liberal antics. But when he announces his plans to abolish the Fourth of July, the consensus is that he's finally gone too far. Can the three spirits who arrive to haunt Mr. Malone change his stubborn world view? Kelsey Grammer plays one of the three ghosts intent on bringing out Malone's patriotic side through a series of wild adventures filled with celebrity cameos by Gary Coleman, Leslie Nielsen, and Dennis Hopper, to name a few. Malone may still have a loyal fan following, but for this trip he's all on his own. A cross between A CHRISTMAS CAROL and films like SCARY MOVIE, AN AMERICAN CAROL uses ghosts as the main vehicle for its pro-America jokes. Together, the spirits of General Patton, President Kennedy, and President Washington drive the plot of this spoof, which unlike many recent satires, pokes fun at the more liberal end of things., Though some fault Hollywood for being too liberal, AIRPLANE! director David Zucker helms this satire that takes aim at the left. Kevin Farley, who bears a striking resemblance to a certain Oscar-winning filmmaker, plays Michael Malone, a documentary director who wants to abolish the Fourth of July. But when he is visited by three spirits, he begins to change his anti-American tune. AN AMERICAN CAROL also stars Kelsey Grammer, country singer Trace Adkins, Dennis Hopper, Jon Voight, and Zucker favorite Leslie Nielsen.
