Redneck? Rubes?

I know, I know it's a movie review but Mr. Moore (any relation there?) might consider the terms "elitist" and "snob" as well. Not that he'll ever see this, but I feel a bit better.

I am sure I won't agree with everything in this movie but after stuff like "Fahrenheit/911" and "Bowling for Columbine" and, probably "An Inconvenient Truth", can this be all bad?

Perhaps not representative in part or whole, but at least it gives a chance for the Republicans in Hollywood - a rare breed these days - a chance to act (perhaps using the term loosely) in a movie that doesn't actually offend them to appear in.

Critic hates it? Check.

Makes fun of Liberals? Check.

Makes fun of the anti-American, anti-second ammendment etc...Michael Moore? Check.

Defies the Liberal, anti-American hollywooders? Check.

I'm going ro see it!!! ASAP

But then again I have guns and a Bible etc...What did Barry Hussein Obama say about me?

Democrats/liberals think it is OK to kill an unborn baby but not a terrorist.

God Bless America.

Sounds like a great movie if it is already being attacked by the Hollywood media aka Liberal actors.

I'll make my own decision about how good it is.

A critic being this angry and defensive causes me to believe he doesn't want the message to get out...hmmm...makes me really want to see it.

Kevin Farley nor funny? He is making fun of Michael Moore... what's not funny about making fun of that anti-American pig?

I just checked Moore's review of Bill Maher's hate-filled diatribe against religion on the Orlando Sentinel's web page. Guess how many stars he gave Maher? FOUR. I think his review of these two movies says a lot more about Mr. Moore than it does about the quality of either film. I'm sure both films will be forgotten in six months.

Never has such a scathing attack on a movie made me want to see it more!

Consider the Source... An Ultra Liberal Hollywood Elitist Movie Reviewer didn't like this movie...

Can't Wait to buy my ticket!

If this movie reviewer didn't understand that the movie wasn't supposed to be taken literally can you imagine how in a twist he must have been over Airplane?

"I mean, really, we watch this movie and we're supposed to believe somehow that an automatic pilot is actually just a blow up doll. Come on!"

Long before this movie was released, I predicted that our left-wing, quirky movie critic wouldn't see it. Why? Because it's against his religion (the Democratic Party with Obama as its savior). That the (Orlando) critique is bitter is no surprise. What do you expect from a newspaper that advertises for Obama?

This just might be refreshing to see. Imagine spoofing liberals. It sounds like they may get a taste of their own medicine for a change. Woo Hoo!!!!

Roger Moore is upset that this movie labels Hitler a liberal. He is only showing his ignorance. National Socialism included the following liberal points:

The state is responsible for providing an opportunity for livelihood
Abolition of unearned income
Profit sharing from heavy industries
Expansion of old age welfare
The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program
The state is to care for the elevating national health

Yes Hitler was a racist and an anti-Semite, but he was no ultra-ultra-conservative. He was a fascist, which originated in Mussolini's Italy. Mussolini's fascist program included the following:

End of the draft
Miniumum wage laws
Creation of government bodies run by workers' representatives.
Reform of the old-age and pension system
The obligation of the state to build "rigidly secular" schools for the raising of "the proletariat's moral and cultural condition."
A large progressive tax on capital

I don't know if "An American Carol" is a good or bad movie; I do know that Mr. Moore is sadly poorly educated about liberalism and its discredited cousin fascism.

I am really anxious to see it since he is attacking it for all the wrong reasons. Making fun of Michael Moore is a plus for me! ASAP! And why didn't one of your staff write a review than get this review from another liberal paper? Or, aren't there enough fair minded critics around (that's probably it).

Pokes fun at liberals? My husband and I are defiantly going to see this! Liberals have attacked conservatives far to much, time for a good laugh.

Barack Obama, said about you, what is most likely true:

You're a racist, and you insist on using his middle name, but not John Sydney McCain's. check.

You think that we should all believe in your god so much so that a clump of cells that have been developing for two weeks, having no heart beat, no sensory neurons, of any type, should be allowed to evolve. check.

You think that Barack Obama, pals around with terrorist, and I assume that you also think that everyone wearing muslim related clothes has a bomb strapped to their body. Culturally insensitive. check.

You're not a conservative, a conservative wants the government removed from their lives as much as possible, you're a forcist, one who wants the government to make people live your way-

wah wah wah, pay less taxes, my money is my money, my god is the god of everyone, wah wah wah

I soooo want to see this.

Ah Roger, c'on lighten up a little dude. This is a parody, albeit a very serious parody. Oxymoron? Check it out, it's a tad crude in parts but the film both funny and provides a much needed history lesson.

Gosh, I wonder where Roger Moore's political sympathies lie? Let's face it, liberals who think it is fall-down, beat the floor funny to see Sarah Palin trashed and demeaned in every imaginable way suddenly get all "That's cruel not funny!" indignant when the humor is aimed in their direction. Michael Moore is the sensitive liberal who stated that a major hurricane approaching New Orleans on the eve of the republican convention was "proof there is a God in heaven." He's also the sensitive liberal who gained fame by ambushing people and viciously humiliating them on camera once he had gained their trust.

Personally, I can think of nothing funnier than seeing Mr. Sensitive Liberal himself getting whacked in the head with an anvil. If Michael Moore donated a tenth of the money he evidently spends on sauce drenched triple hamburgers to the poor he cares so much about he could feed half the homeless people in New York city.

All I have to say is that amazes me how really unabashedly cruel and inhuman conservatives really are. And these comments prove it! Facism is ultra-conservatism. What in the world is wrong with you people? I saw this film and even though I am a liberal, BTW we are all very much Americans and resent the implication that we're not, as well, no matter what you may think of Michael Moore, I'm from Texas and what he said in Farenheit 9/11 about the Bush connections to Saudi Oil is completely true. So get over yourselves! This movie was stupid, and definately not done toungue in cheek but made to subliminily attack liberalism. It is way too obvious. And by the comments here, it shows that conservatives love to attack opposing views but when they are attacked it's not so nice. Well it proves what I've always thought of conservatives, hypocrites all! Palin just proved that with her stupid and twisted lies about Obama's terrorism links. The conservatives have nothing to stand on, they are going to lose in November, so they can do nothing but attack. Typical!

doesn't even PRETEND to be unbiased in this article. He rails against conservative policies (stem cell research) that have NOTHING to do with the content of the movie. He's just ranting because he doesn't like the politics of the movie.

Why Deseret News put this up, I have no clue. Their journalistic integrity is right up there with the Daily Herald!

One would think this was a National political commentary page not a movie review...

Read Jonah Goldberg's book 'Liberal Fascism'. Hitler was no Nazi. Neither are conservatives.

Once again we're seeing the absurd shouts of "liberal media bias!" Anyone who has taken any time at all to learn anything about this movie knows it's a complete anti-liberal rant. When the movie is this political (and one-sided in it's politics at that), there is no possible way the critic can avoid getting political in his review. Not one single conservative who has posted here to take outrage at the critic condemning this film's politics will have one word of objection if a conservative critic does the same to Oliver Stone's "W."

Michael Moore's brother? Wow this is the most biased movie review I've ever read. I saw Kevin Farley on the Talk Show and he was hilarious. To call him the an unfunny Chris Farley is just plain false. After reading how worked up this movie made Mr Moore it sounds like the movie accomplished it's goals. I can't wait to see it.

Jeff, What is your opinion of this movie? I know you are not always able to screen movies ahead of time, but this review is so liberally biased that it is hard for me to determine if it was slammed for any other reason than because it is conservative. If this is the reason it was slammed then this review shouldn't be used. If it is because the movie stinks then I can live with that. Either way, I think the Des News readers deserve a voice we can trust, even if we disagree with you.

The only thing worse than this film is this article.

I have a question for you. Do you feel that murdering an innocent person is a right that people should have? Honestly? Do you? Because if you take a second and think, you will be able to understand that a mother's rights regarding what happens to her body has ended as soon as it involves taking the life of an innocent baby. She made her choice and this is a consequence. Did you know that a baby has a heartbeat after approximately 22 days after conception, a heart begins to beat. At 26 days the circulation of blood begins. Many women don't even find out they are pregnant until after that point. So tell me again how you can justify terminating the life of a growing child because it is "a mother's right"? This no longer involves her body alone.

Is this a movie review or an op/ed piece? I'd like a movie review to tall me about the plot, acting, etc., not about the political/personal views of the reviewer.

The movie wasn't pre-screened for critics, so the News wasn't able to provide a review before the opening.

Conservatives are so backed up against a wall right now the pressure must hurt like you know what. Kind of like that nagging sensation that something must be horribly wrong with all that righteous rage. This movie should be just the drug - but then again, the world will still be in the same state it was in when you come out of theater as when you went in.

ACLU lawyers as zombies? LOL I'm gonna have to see this.

Just a note to everyone who is remarking about why Jeff Vice didn't see the movie - It wasn't screend for critics. Not just here, but anywhere. How bad must a movie be for them to not even screen it in the Reddest of the Red states? Pretty terrible I would imagine.

Especially since, it seems, that if Vice gave it a bad review, most of the above commentors would have run right out to buy their tickets.

Wow. It's nice to know that this movie critic doesn't let his personal views color his movie reviews. And that he is soooo against hate speech and bigotry that he would give "Religulous" 4 or 5 stars.

With someone like him bashing this movie, I'm definitely going to see it--soon!

Jason, I didn't realize that being from Texas makes you qualified to know the truth about everything related to oil. Interesting.

If critics and/or liberals don't like this movie, it sounds like a keeper. I'm actually disappointed that a respected (?) newspaper such as the DMN would include this review in it's paper. I suspect that liberals would suggest that this review provides balance to the Mormon Times. It certainly appeals to the opposing audience. I expect more of the DMN

Ha, ha! This "review" is a funny anti-conservative rant. Funny too that the "reviewer's" name is MOORE! Go figure.

Let's see, tent cities for minorities and English-only laws--these Republican values (or as they like to call them, "family values"--ha!) sound a lot like Hitler to me.

Let me clear things up for you. The film doesn't have "acting" and the plot is "Religion is absurd, here I am demonstrating that." This is a documentary with a message so the review (a liberal guy from hearing him on the radio and reading him) talks about the message/plot of the movie plenty.

Frankly, I don't care if the movie is conservative or liberal. There are liberal movies that come out all the time attacking conservative agendas and the reviewers job is to grade them based on the quality of the movie and not the politics. Of course, bias pervades everything, but it is frustrated to read a review for a comedy and instead get a debate about politics. Just tell us if the movie is funny or not and leave your opinions about Hitler's political leanings out of it.
By the way, Hitler took the worst from both liberal and conservative views and combined them. That is why both liberals and conservatives can each label him from the other party. Painting him as strictly one or the other is as off base as writing a political commentary in place of a movie review.

I believe it's a patriotic duty to go and support this movie by buying tickets. Who cares if it's Oscar material or not? At least its a counterbalance to the non-stop leftist movie barrage of the last few decades. Usually when "professional movie critics" (oxymoron) give a politically-tinged movie a bad review, it usually is because it conflicts with their innate liberal views. We're going to see this movie tonight! Thanks

I loved this movie!

Great review, and for that I'll see it twice AND donate another $100 for it's cause.

Great movie! Saw it Friday.

Where did DN get the moonbat reviewer Roger Michael Moore? Didn't know they have a Hollyweird bureau.

Except for the over-the-top airport scene and the nuked butt, it was a very carthtic movie. So politically incorrect as to be funny. I think the Hollywood liberals will be doing some blacklisting.
They can always dish it out, but can't take it.

Looks like this uber liberal journalist--and what journalist isn't liberal these days--had a sacred nerve touched. I'll join with all my friends and get a laugh at the expense of the Marxist socialist liberal propagandists!!

See you at the movies!!

Funniest movie I've seen in years. It's about time we had a movie with a conservative point of view. The movie "W", about President Bush will be coming out soon & is pure hogwash but, I'm sure the so called critic will love it!

Wow, I'm just flabbergasted as I read this review and the hatred that flows out in these comments posted by the liberal commentators. You liberals are so uptight. This is a COMEDY. Do you read us conservatives going crazy about the constant barrage against conservatives and McCain/Palin by Saturday Night Live?

By the way, Hitler was a liberal. DonM gives good evidence. Let me provide further parallels.
Obama's slogan - change, Hitler's slogan "Alles muss anders sein!" translated - Everything must be different. Obama's slogan - "White folks greed runs a world in need." Hitler's slogan translated "public need before private greed". They are both charismatic leaders promising hope, prosperity, and fairness. The Nazis promised to clamp down on Big Business and end the class struggle (sounds familiar). It appealed to the young most, they thought they would fight the evil bourgeois and and establish a youth dominated culture. The uprising of the poor and beaten down, crushed by the evil corporations and industrialist (again, sounds familiar). There are too many other parallels Hitler to Obama to be able to address it all here.

An American Carol is a good movie. It's different. I recommend everyone to see it.

Is anyone surprised by the tone of this guy's review? Is anyone surprised by the bitterness a movie that dares mock liberals is receive with? It's blasphemy, isn't it? I hope Grammar and Farley and the other guys who starred in this film are financially secure, because the Hollywood Czars have now marked them for career death because you will not find a more close minded person than a liberal with power and cultural influence. For this, they deserve every ounce of ridicule heaped upon them. Kudos to the lone wolfs of Hollywood who have the brass to stand up to the Czarist Hollywood establishment.
Roger Moore, thank you for identifying yourself as the offended liberal. Now you know how I feel nearly everytime I watch a movie or television show. Snide remarks, assumptions that any other view point is simply foolish, and blatant liberalism permeate the entertainment industry. It's funny, Moore, all that attempted liberal brainwashing has done is made me read and study more over the years and solidify my opinion that the engines of this political reeducation via cultural outlets are the modern day sychophants of Athenian lore - Sophistry at its worst.

My wife and I saw this late Friday night. And you know what? We loved it. My wife isn't one for silly comedies but has raved about this.

Of course there were parts that were silly and corny. Hello! It was meant to be!!!

Kevin Farley, chasing the ghost of JFK, tries to run thru his big screen tv...and smashes his Twinkie onto the screen. He later goes back to peel it off and eat it. Very funny.

The ACLU zombies was another funny part. Honestly. Who wouldn't find that funny? Well, liberals like Roger Moore and Jeff Vice.

I have to say, the part about right-winged Christians being just as scary as Muslim extremists was brilliant. Zucker hit a home run in my opinion.

Thanks to open-minded movie critics like Jeff Vice and the Trib's Sean Means, we know what to expect. The fact that Vice even refused to review this movie speaks volumes.

PLEASE go see this movie. It was so refreshing to laugh at the other side for once.

Might not go see it...but I sure am going to buy a ticket or two. Want to support the "anti-liberal" agenda in any way I can....especially if it targets liberal whackos like M.Moore.

Wow, I wasn't sure if there were other republicans out there. I'm glad to see that there are!
I am sad to observe, however, that both of the liberals and conservatives who have commented on this page are biased and are a bit blinded by it. If there was ever a time when democrats and republicans needed to work together to start getting things done, it is now. People are so wrapped up in their beliefs that they don't notice and/or care that our country seems to be skirting around a crisis or two. How about less fighting and more working together? Maybe for the sake of our COUNTRY, not ourselves.

I don't why my previous comment was censored, since fell well with the requirement to be posted.

Roger moore does not know what he is talking about when come to the political spectrum. Perhaps a class or two in political science might help.

Nazi-ism is the Far far Liberal Left.

Socialism is in the left of the political, nazi stands for national socialist, and add facism or the SS to that you get a very very extreme left.

All this movie is doing is showing, by parody, what the liberals and extreme left in this country are doing to it.

Which makes this movie brilliant in its observations and satire.

Atleast that is obvious to anyone willing to step back and take look at waht really going on.

And Roger Moore is unwilling to do that, so wrapped up he is in his liberal views,

That all he shows in his review is his hatred for anyone who doesn't agree with his liberal views, even attempting to equate them fraudulently and falsely with nazis. Really now. He just so far off.

And since its known that Jeff Vice prints his reviews because he agrees with Roger, shame on him.
