Summary: In this wildly tongue-in-cheek animated revisionist history, a chainsaw-wielding George Washington assembles a team of rabble rousers — including beer-loving bro Sam Adams, famed scientist Thomas Edison, acclaimed horseman Paul Revere, and a very pissed off Geronimo — to defeat Benedict Arnold and King James in the American Revolution.

Who will win? No one knows, but you can be sure of one thing: these are not your father's Founding… uh, Fathers.… Expand

One of the funny things about America: The Motion Picture—not all of which is screamingly funny—is that the more you know about America’s past, the more amusing it probably is (the past and the film). Read full review

America: The Motion Picture is like Drunk History if the history were not only drunk but also on nitrous. Channing Tatum once again proves he's a comedy force to be reckoned with, backed by a stellar cast of capable and cunning joke spitters. Read full review

The movie is at its best when it can revel in inventiveness, scrappiness, and camaraderie, and you feel the “We’re coming together! We’re beating the Big Bad!” vibes run through you. Read full review

America: The Motion Picture only works in fits and starts, more a series of discrete parodies than coherent film. While some of these moments are amusing, and occasionally laugh out loud funny, most are only mildly entertaining. Read full review

A throw-everything-against-the-wall collection of silly jokes that reimagines American history as a bro-tastic action flick, Matt Thompson’s animated film makes Drunk History look like a Ken Burns production. Read full review

Screen Rant Mae Abdulbaki

The concept is promising, and the violent delirium of the movie's visuals show that this could have been a fun, adrenaline-fueled romp. Instead, it's just an unfunny comedy that leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. Read full review

America: The Motion Picture isn’t really a failure, because it doesn’t even try. Read full review

I have no problem watching something so absurd and consciously stupid that also embraces it as its biggest strength.
But doing it for 90 minutes and still believing it's funny?
No. Not all.

Very unfunny and annoying to sit through. There are better animated movies and comedies this year, so, skip this one. It's worthless.

So much wasted potential here. With a talented voice cast and great animation one would think this would be an easy win however, watching this from beginning to end was just exhausting.

With a talented voice cast and great animation one would think this would be an easy win however, watching this from beginning to end was just exhausting. Many of the "jokes" either just don't land or end up being overused to the point they're just not funny by the end of the movie. While the point of the story is to be stupid fun the writing and execution are just astoundingly bad here. Truth be told, if this had been broken and made into a mini-series I think it could have been good, but as is I would not recommend.… Expand
