I am a conservative and had high hopes for this movie. I saw it and this movie can be most adequately described as shit.

The two reviewers, the Hollywood Reporter and LA Weekly, are just blatant DemonKraut leftist liberals. The Hollywood Reporter article has a line "...Democrats (sic; It's "Democratics" idiots...) are simply funnier". Blatant The two reviewers, the Hollywood Reporter and LA Weekly, are just blatant DemonKraut leftist liberals. The Hollywood Reporter article has a line "...Democrats (sic; It's "Democratics" idiots...) are simply funnier". Blatant editorializing and has nothing to do with the movie. Not only that, since the overwhelming vast majority of "Hollywood" is liberal, it would stand to reason that Hollywood "Comedies" are made by liberals. And the vast overwhelming majority of Hollywood "comedies" SUCK!!! So, how does that make "Democrats" funnier? Oh right: because usually they are making fun of persons who are more conservative than Hollywood. And, in the mind of liberals, like the Hollywood Reporter, that "is funny". Now, since I have a REAL job, I don't have time to sit in a dark room all day and watch the crap, er "art" that comes out of Hollywood (vastly liberal). But I'll just bet I can come-up with a whole lot of unfunny "funny" Hollywood bits about Christians (especially Catholics!!!), Caucasian Middle Class Men (virtually every depiction a stereotype; ESPECIALLY as a "father", the Military, Wall Steet, Main Street, REPUBLICANS...you name it. So, LA Weakly critic, when you're writing a list of the associations in "Carol" that you think aren't funny or are "unfair", you be sure and trash all those vast number of comedies, created by USAmerica-hating Hollywood Liberals with the cliches above. But, of course, you'll be too busy laughing your @$$ off to make notes on it. Both of you critics should be fired for your blatant political biases.… Expand

Wow, just what we need. A movie making fun of Michael Moore. I don't really understand how this trash gets made. Someone must own the wrong kind of people a lot of money.

A laugh out loud comedy- refreshing to see a right of center movie. Looking forward to the sequel. Robert Davi is excellent Hope Saturday Night Live has the balls to have Farley as their guest host to exploit the movie- now that would be great.

Absolutely abysmal. No wonder the studio wouldn't allow critics to view the movie before it came out, it's an absolute train-wreck. Chris Farley shares exactly NONE of his brother's charisma or comic prowess and is simply Absolutely abysmal. No wonder the studio wouldn't allow critics to view the movie before it came out, it's an absolute train-wreck. Chris Farley shares exactly NONE of his brother's charisma or comic prowess and is simply atrocious in his role as the buffoonish, two-dimensional Michael Moore character. And the rest of the cast is a veritable Who's Who of straight-to-DVD actors such as Kelsey Grammer and Leslie Nielsen. I admit, I only went to see a screening of this movie because it was free and I figured hey, why not see how the other side of the aisle gets their laughs. Well, you'll probably won't be shocked to learn that their is a damn good reason there is a complete vacuum in the entertainment industry when it comes to "Republican humor". The entire concept is a complete OXYMORON. This pitiful attempt at red-state friendly entertainment ranks right up there with Fox New's cancelled stab at comedy, the Half-hour News Hour, by being completely void of anything even remotely approaching comedy or wit. Since its clear by their refusal to screen this movie to critics that the studio that released this turd clearly knows how god-awful it is and wishes to screw you out of your money nonetheless, I felt it my duty to emphasize to you just how unfunny and poorly made this movie was before you go out and get mugged out of an hour-and-a-half of your life you'll never get back. Knowing something about the movie industry myself, I think I can unabashedly say that this movie will be pulled from most screens in, at most, two weeks max. Do yourself a favor and stay clear until then.… Expand

While South Park has managed to bring a conservative spin on broad humor it's never lost sight of the overall hypocracy on both sides of the political aisle and virtually everyone is a target. This film fails on that count in that there's but a single target (the left) and Zucker seems to have forgotten what satire is. Most on the right will love it, the left will despise it and those with a more subjective view will walk away realizing they what they watched was a political diatribe that's a bit short on laughs.… Expand
