American Carol
Genre: Comedy, Holiday
Release Date: October 3
Cast: Kevin Farley, Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, David Zucker
Scoop: A cynical, Anti-American “Hollywood” filmmaker sets out on a crusade to abolish the 4th of July holiday. He is visited by three spirits who take him on a journey in an attempt to show him the true meaning of America.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: We think a comedy that spoofs Michael Moore has potential...as a short. Can't imagine there'll be much steam to take us through a feature's worth of Chris Farley's bro', doubling for Moore--eating, pontificating and re-telling a Holiday classic, now, July or in December.
Snapshot Prediction: 2 out of 5 flashes
