posted in Movie Hype

A delightful parody of the left which conservatives will enjoy

This parody takes direct aim at left-wing shibboleths and they hate it for that. Micheal Moore, magnificently sent up by Kevin Farley, comes across as the befuddled, dishonest charlatan his, praising the Cuban health care system an despoling the nation that allows him to ply his craft of professional liar. The ghosts of July 4th, past, present and future visit Michael Malone, the Farley character, when he launches his campaign to abolish the 4th of July. … more

While it may be fun, it is NOT terribly well-made

All right, I'll admit it. I saw this movie on opening weekend. I will now attempt to review it while also attempting to steer clear of political commentary. I seldom like to read unabashed commentary from others, and I don't want them to read much of mine! In case you don't know, this film, from AIRPLANE creator David Zucker, is a conservative-made spoof of, for lack of a better word, the liberal mindset or point-of-view. It is very much in the style of AIRPLANE type movies, … more
