"If you're not with 'us' you're with 'them' -- a premise that should offend anyone regardless of political affiliation, yet this movie buys into it."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  A. J. Hakari

2/5
"just too insular to be engaging"  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

F
"American Carol reinforces how needlessly divisive our country has become. Certainly there's a better way to say "Yay America!" than this lousy, hopeless movie, easily one of the worst films of the year."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

.5/4
"While it is the liberals of America who receive the brunt of abuse, it is the conservatives, portrayed as hypocritical, narrow-minded hicks and heathens, that unintentionally look like fools."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

B-
"I'm giving it a just-barely-recommended grade not because it's terribly funny (which it isn't), but because it's fascinating as a cultural artifact."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

1.5/4
"Overall, Zucker's cinematic middle finger is about as funny as an exploding toilet seat for hemorrhoid-induced senior citizens...a dreary picture mired in sophomoric sludge."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

1/5
"Right-wing political comedy just isn't funny."  Common Sense Media  James Rocchi

3/4
"... while it may be (director David Zucker's) passion for the (obvious conservative agenda), it's easily more entertaining than either Scary Movie 3 or 4."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

3/5
"It's neat to see a movie from another point of view... Still, the movie has a message, and that message gets in the way of the comedy at least half of the time"  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

0.5/4
"Forget politics: An American Carol sucks simply because it's ridiculously, painfully unfunny."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan
