Why the hell not?

This is pretty much America .. for better or worse. I think that anyonewho is some what smart will like this movie. The tone is clean for whatyou get and there are endless points about who we are and how we livein the US. I can personally tell you that this film is worth the watch.Yeah you know what is going to happen but god forbid someone makes afilms that speaks to us... The Sick .. The Tired ... The people thathurt for a clean society. Give it a go.The main character is in a place I think many Americans are. Sick oflooking at how things use to be. Sick of the social media jammed downour faces.The female lead goes the correct direction and just when you think itsover its starting.Perfect balance. Enjoy!

Since when is killing a baby with a shotgun funny?

I only gave this movie 1 out of 10 because at the beginning a baby isblown away with a shot gun. There is blood and guts everywhere. Thenarrator says they hate the baby's crying and it's fat face. It's meantto be funny, but it isn't.It's a shame because the rest of the movie was mostly entertaining andthe message - the worship of stupid - was one worth listening too. Butin the second half the movie does the very thing its characters arepreaching against.I would have given it 6 out of 10, but the baby killing reduces that to1 out of 10.

Disappointed

I have not heard or read anything about this film before starting towatch it last night so I approached it with an open mind. The openingwas very promising (apart from the baby scene) and the targets wellselected. In fact living in the UK I was probably more taken aback withsome of the 'shock' stuff than maybe an American audience? But as thefilm developed I became more and more disappointed.Lets be clear I have no problems with the targets or the centralmessage of the film: the coarsening and increasing cruelty we see bothon our TV screens and in our everyday lives. That applies here in theUK albeit perhaps less extreme than in the US.The central problems is that the message is too obvious and lackssubtlety. There are some funny moments and some shocking moments. I washorrified at the video of the Tea Party activists berating the man withParkinsons disease. So it is not a write off but I am very wary ofthose films that are so overtly propagandist and one dimensional.

The lead character is boringly cynical, stewing too much in self-pity.

'God Bless America' is a preachy, irritating film that ultimately failsto resonate with the audience. I regularly shared the sentiment of thefilm's protagonist, I am cynical and I too hate the celebrity culturethe film attacks, but he's so tiringly cynical and grumpy that he ishard to relate to. Though he is articulate, Frank (Joel Murray)reminded me of the cerebrally impaired, uninformed, generalising idiotsyou find on forums such as 'The Daily Mail Online', people with a chipon their shoulder who smugly moan on about standards of education andthe justice system as if they know what they're talking about. So almost immediately, there is a big problem, but then it gets worse,the film's credibility sinks upon the arrival of Roxy (Tara LyneeBarr), Frank's annoying little side-kick. Their ensuing double actkills it, this hyperbolic, fantastical approach means that it isn'thalf as effective as 'Falling Down', which is a darker film thatresonates through being funny, tragic and for the most part, realistic.It is Roxy that places 'God Save America' alongside the awfulpseudo-superhero film 'Super', but thankfully Tara Lynne Barr's actingstyle isn't as unbearably irritating as Ellen Page's. There's also a scene that copies the gun salesman scene in 'TaxiDriver' almost verbatim, which I found more of an offence than somesort of homage, or whatever they intended it to be. I saw no redeemingreason for cramming this kitsch scene in the closing 15 minutes. A merit would be that some of the slayings are indeed quite funny intheir brutality, especially one concerning one of the vile creaturesfrom those awful 'Super Sweet 16' programmes, but unfortunately thefilm quickly loses the little steam it mustered.

Ain't nothing a little of the old ultra violence can't solve

"God Bless America", the new comedy from director-writer BobcatGolthwait, is a blunt in-your-face attack on the modern culture ofstupidity, dirty politics, and entertainment aimed at the lowest commondenominator. It is a sharply written satire that takes aim at everyoneand everything from American Idol to Diablo Cody to Bill O'Reily andthe Westboro Baptist Church. It is bound to offend, it is meant tooutrage, it should stir up controversy and make the blood boil. Yet,it's message is not in support of violence, it is adamantlyanti-violent even in it's own graphically violent way. The movie isnothing more than an angry rant against all "that is wrong with oursociety": this is perhaps the funniest comment on the dumbing down ofour culture since Mike Judge's wonderful and underrated "Idiocracy".The story involves Frank (Joel Murray), a middle aged divorced father,who finds himself on a losing streak with his daughter, who doesn'twant to see him if he doesn't have a present for her, he looses his jobfor the kind of inappropriate inner office relationship that we snickerat the absurdity of when we hear of it happening in real life. Justwhen things seem unable to be worse, Frank is told by his rudephysician that he has an incurable brain tumor. At the lowest point inhis life, he takes out his gun from a shoebox to end it all, but beforehe can pull the trigger he sees a bratty spoiled rich teenage girl, thestar of a TV reality show (a la "My Sweet Sixteen"), throwing a tantrumand rudely defying her equally obnoxious parents. Having seen a livingembodiment of the evils of this world, he turns his anger towards her,and she happens to live near by, ever better for Frank she goes toschool near by. He meets up with her in the high school parking lot andguns her down, witness to the deed is Roxy (Tara Lynn Barr), a sixteenyear-old who thinks that this is the best thing that has ever happened.Roxy tracks down Frank to ask who he plans to kill next, Frank meant itas a one off, but Roxy encourages him to take to the road and find allof those who "deserve to be taking a dirt nap".Roxy convinces Frank that "justifiable" killing is better than takinghis own life: she also hands him a story about living in a trailer witha junkie mother and an abusive stepfather. Frank takes to Roxy as asort of surrogate father, seeing is her some of the character qualitiesthat maybe his own daughter lacks, refusing any sexual advances thatshe makes towards him, they are as in his own words "platonic spreekillers." Frank has to keep Roxy under control, and offers moralguidance (!) as to whom they may and whom they may not kill; badpeople, mean people, not just those who you don't like.Goldwait,who is partially responsible for large chunks of traumaticrepressed childhood memories of mine involving "Police Academy" sequelsand a particularly unfunny talking horse movie, has in recent yearsreinvent himself as a director of keen satire and dark comedies. "GodBless America" is by far his most accomplished directorial effort, evenif the picture itself is unable to hold itself together to a satisfyingconclusion, Goldthwait's enthusiasm never lets up. With each new film,Goldthwait matures as a filmmaker,Goldthwait has talent as a writer andfilmmaker, and is someone to keep your eyes on, his skill with dark,but still humorous subject matter in some ways remind me a bit of DannyDeVito. Joel Murray, Bill's younger brother, is a revelation as Frank, in hisfirst leading role, he is both funny and endearing, I sincerely hopethis leads to additional starring roles, he proves here easily that hehas the ability to carry a 100 minute feature film. Also very good isnewcomer Tara Lynne Barr, she's a firecracker of afflatus andenthusiasm as Roxy, she is believable, perhaps in an all toouncomfortable kind of way."God Bless America" has many memorable scenes, mowing down members of AWestboro Baptism Church-like religious group or the merciless rippingof reality TV like "Jersey Shore" and "American Idol," I guess you cansee where my politics stand, but I also like the point the movie triesto make about the hate and anger we get from TV personalities and ouracceptance of violent entertainment as rewarding somehow. There is ascene where Frank delivers a vile speech on the subject that I wish Iwish I could quote in it's entirety, but that would be exhausting anddefeatist. My favorite scene is one that takes place in an art housemovie theater, where Frank and Roxy's wrath is turned on some rude andtalkative teenage moviegoers. In an interview with Goldthwait, hetalked about two fifty-ish men striking up a conversation during thisfilm while it was playing as part of a film festival at the prestigiousAlamo Draft house in Austin, Texas; the point Goldthwait took from it,is that it's not just youth who are rude and inconsiderate, there aremany "adults" who are every bit as immature.The hardest part for many viewers, I think will be, the overall themeof the movie, the tone is surely that of a satire. As I have alreadystated I don't think it is really a message movie, not in the sensethat you might think it is, but I suspect that a lot of people aregoing to take it to believe that this movie advocates the killing ofthose people you don't agree with. I laughed a lot, maybe agreed alittle more than I should, the thing to remember is that like any goodrant, once the venting is over you feel better.

Liberals finally kick some ass...

...and it's about f--king time. Admit it, all of us still sane peoplewe just wanna see those stupid xenophobes and reality TV c--ts burn andsuffer, or even better wield the sword ourself and bring stupidity downto the ground where it belongs. Intead of holding it up as thedescription for the twenty-first century. This movie isn't however justa parody of what our civilization has become, it's also a film ofheart, humor and, which is rarely the case nowadays, a soul. So theonly thing left to say is I highly recommend it for the all you smartpeople out there. Consume it, take it to your heart and the next timeyou see "Jersey Shore" while skipping through the channels imaginelightening the cast one fire screaming: BURN MOTHERF--KERS BURN!

A Sub-Par "Moral Plea" That Attempts to Address Cultural Follies

I watched this film earlier this evening and feel compelled to write areview about it. Although on a whole I would describe "God BlessAmerica" as mediocre, there are definitely some aspects that are worthaddressing. The message portrayed in "God Bless America" is definitelyvalid; however, I'm beginning to perceive cynical works like this assomewhat generic. Clearly, Goldthwait is not the first person topropose the idea that society is becoming increasingly shallow,superficial, and hedonistic. It's not as if he uncovered a gold mine bycreating this film. But I guess if you really think about it, it'salmost impossible to come up with something completely original thesedays. That's why technique is so important. The first scene that threwme off was the one where Frank was explaining to an intellectuallyinferior co-worker how popular TV shows lack substance. It seemed as ifGoldthwait thought it'd be easier to have the characters portraymessages directly through dialogue rather than leaving windows open forthe audience. Good writing is vital, don't get me wrong; I justwould've liked if more scenes were open for interpretation. As far asthe acting goes, I felt like some of it felt forced and the characterdevelopment could have been better. Besides some heart to heartdiscussions between Frank and his accomplice, there was minimalprogression. Overall, a few scenes with good dialogue and some mildlyheartfelt situations were the high points of this film. The portrayalof Frank as a self pitying misanthrope and Roxy as a rebellious, leftwing teenager leaving her suburban parents to go on a wild adventuredidn't quite cut it for me. Goldthwait certainly could've had morefaith in the audience's intuition rather than spelling everything outfor us. I think the actors could have jived really well together, butthe fabrication of some situations led to a skeptical response from me.A valid yet generic message conducted with average technique yields arating of 6/10 from me.

brilliant dark humour

Mixture of movies like bad santa and idiocracy with massmurder added.The movie follows a maincharacter who is a middle aged man that is tobe as average as possible. He watches typical TV and hates it,has atypical job and hates it. His family is divorced and he hates it.It starts out slow and gets going after the main character is diagnosedwith brain cancer and you get to ride along in the backseat.If you have ever read a newspaper and just felt depressed or watchednews and just hated every idiot spewing stupid stuff out of it this isthe relief you need.The movie has very relaxed and dark sense of humour it doesn't try tobe violence focused or gory.If you ever felt like doing an Elvis and just shoot your TV with a gunthis is the movie for you.I can see this becoming a cult classic.

God Bless America

Wow, this is the best movie I have ever seen. The writing is amazingand it really spoke from the heart. It's a very dark comedy and onemoment i would be laughing hysterically and the next i would be cryingmy eyes out. The best part was when Frank kept calling Roxy "Juno" andshe would just reply "fuck you Frank." The ending was not THATsurprising, you would think two mass murderers would be shot to death.Especially when their in a public place shooting everyone in sight. Atfirst i was like "Two depressed people" At the end i was like "Therethe most bad ass people out there" I think it was trying to show thatAmerica is really starting to fail. With all the phones, computers,television, no one really get's enjoyment out of a normal conversationwith your friends. Overall I thought the movie was awesome and everyoneshould see it. It might change your mind about a lot of things.

An Answer to Stone's Natural Born Killers

What a great movie. It's rather as if Goldthwait has made an answer toOliver Stone's Natural Born Killers by way of Mike Judge's OfficeSpace. Through the eyes of Joel Murray's Frank, we see a variety ofsociety's ills and thankfully, Goldthwait doesn't dwell on them. To doso would be like gawking at the stupidity when you walk into a Walmart;it's just going to make you dwell longer at the stupidity on display,and you are still in a Walmart. Instead, we get one of those movies that you either are along with oryou aren't, you get or you don't. If you get it, you wish that Frankhad a few more monologues, if you don't, you'd think it was advocatingrandom shooting sprees. Thankfully the script and Murray's brilliant portrayal of Frank has himas a principled, moral character who has his suicide interrupted by oneterrible reality TV show too many. Along the way he teams up with apsychotic schoolgirl. He's rebelling violently about what society hasbecome, she's rebelling against what society is. It isn't a huge film, without a large budget, but well made. I feltthat it worked best compared to Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers,which showed spree killers as celebrities. In God Bless America thecharacters lament that they haven't even made the news. But in the end,Stone's film glories this shallow quest for fame while Goldthwait'sfilm answers it, showing what happens to America when everyone isunkindly reaching for it.

The good, the bad and the gun issue

If we didn't have all that weird stuff on TV, would this movie exist?If we didn't have lunatics going crazy and thinking they're doing theright thing, would we have this movie? Would it be wrong to not havethis movie, but have sanity? Is it wrong to discuss the movie bybringing up the second Amendment Right to bear arms? Just writing aboutit, will either swing you to say you like this review or find it notuseful. It's your right to agree or disagree. But is it your right toown semi or fully automatic weapons? Having written all that as a prelude of sorts, the movie dives into themind of a man who has high morality standards. Which by definitionmakes him a psychopath (seing the wrongs of others, while ignoring yourown downfalls) of sorts. I won't go much deeper into the story, but letme tell you, this is the bleakest and darkest humor you can expect. Andthe movie does a fabulous job in delivering in that front. Will it swayand convince people whose mind is made up already? I don't think so.It's a mad world and we live in it ... If you're an optimist, maybethis movie is not for you (on the other hand, it might depend on whatsort of an optimist you are ...)

I love Frank

This movie was a treat from beginning to end. Bobcat Goldthwait is spoton on his analysis of reality television . Frank is a truly decent manwho has been seemingly dealt a bad hand and decides that he is going todo some good before he checks out in the form of eliminating somethings that are wrong with the world .The same thing that makes gameslike G.T.A. Borderlands2 etc. satisfying is what makes this moviesatisfying.I totally recommend this movie. It is very funny and verysatisfying.I love the character of Frank he is very decent and has ainteresting look on life. It is a little juicy but there is only bloodthat is in line with the story line nothing gratuitous

A psychopathic less cheesy more possible version of the boondock saints

I know it's weird to compare this film with The Boondock Saints, eventhough they are so alike in many ways. It's just freaky to watch allthose stupid people on the TV channels in the film, and realize thatthey mirror people who actually exist. This is a relatively good film,even though I found myself completely emotionless watching it. And whenI'm watching the film I remind myself of the good rating it got onIMDb, how a lot of people who watch this film must see themselves asthe protagonists rather than the victims. Regardless, I loved thebloodshed, and the way how the film did not avoid killing cryingbabies. However I was a bit disappointed when the dude failed to usehis explosive vest and instead got shot dead. I think that this type offilm has a potential to act as a good regulator in keeping people inline and following rules. This film is worth watching if you're lookingfor a tale about friendship. It's quite funny with the TV shows, yetseveral monologues in the first fifteen minutes were really boring,like it were a stage drama instead of a film. But, keep in mind thatserial killing is still wrong.

Had Potential....

I had really high hopes for this film. While it *does* have some greatlaugh-out-loud moments, it unfortunately suffers from the sameaffliction that a lot of Indy films I've seen lately suffer from:excessive one-sided political stereotyping, and the incessant need tojam the writer/director's political point of view down the viewer'sthroat at every opportunity. Now, political stereotyping doesn't haveto be a toxic flaw *if* the ridiculous stereotypes are balanced andtake swipes at both ends of the spectrum ... but "God Bless America"doesn't do that. The writer (Bobcat Goldthwait) is obviously comingfrom a very Liberal-leaning (and arguably very distorted) point ofview. This conspicuous prejudice turns what could have been anenjoyable movie with a potentially poignant message - into yet another"Liberal values are good, Conservative values (what Liberals believethem to be, anyway) are bad and have ruined the country" sermon. IfBobcat would have stuck with lampooning the insanity that's soprevalent in modern pop culture (ala "Idiocracy") and forgone themyopic political digs, GBA would have been a *much* better movie.Production quality was good, and the acting was decent. If you describeyourself as "Liberal" you will probably really enjoy "God BlessAmerica", but personally, I won't be recommending it to friendsbecause, ironically, the movie falls victim to the very societaldecrepitude it endeavors to point out. It's just too politicallyjarring to be enjoyable.

Rants punctuated by violence do not a movie make

Hey Bobcat Goldthwait! I hate all the same crap about American cultureas you do! You know what I else I hate? Bland cinematic litanies of crap that thefilmmaker can't stand. I hate American movies that have no realnarrative ambition except to bitch and plug the filmmaker's rantingsinto the mouth of his main character... over and over and over again. Ihate movies about people who sit around in hotel rooms debating whichmusic is cool and which isn't. I hate movies that don't even have theballs to be straight up exploitation, even though they're obviouslyfetishizing violence. I hate trite pieces of cinema with no truecenter. I hate it when a protagonist in a movie is saddled with therhetoric of decency, yet doesn't do anything proactive at all until heturns to violence. He doesn't turn off the shrieking TV and read a bookduring his late night bouts with insomnia. He doesn't assert himselflike a self- respecting human being on his douchey neighbors or takecommand of his own life in any way, until he does so through violence.So really, he's just as weak and lost in our "uncivilized society" asanyone else in the flick. And ultimately, for his unearned high moralground, just as annoying.Uninspired, unambitious, ethically-muddled, satirically challenged,broadly realized cinema is just as much a part of the problem asbitches with cellphones in movie theaters. Bobcat "Get off my lawn" Goldthwait, it's not that your hyperbolicvision of America doesn't have some truth to it, it's that we deserve afar more intelligent and interesting attack on what's wrong with ourselfish/media-addicted/materialist society than this.

Shocking and important

Bobcat Goldthwait's God Bless America is abadass-satirical-call-to-action-wake-up-call to all of society. Itscreams for us, as a collective, to wake up and look at what we aredoing with our lives and civilization. In a trailer for God BlessAmerica, Goldthwait says that it isn't an angry movie, but a moviedesigned to call attention to what we deem worthy of our attention. Ican agree with him on that point, but the movie comes across as an odeto the cinematic days when characters took the initiative to takethings into their own hands and weren't afraid to get a little blood ontheir hands. Well, in this case, with God Bless America, a lot ofblood.Frank (Joel Murray) is a guy who is tired of everything. He is tired ofthe way American's speak, gossip, discuss nothing substantial, and baseeverything they do on talk radio, gossip television, and wastefulentertainment. The first scene where Frank thinks to himself that he isnot normal is the perfect opener for the explosiveness that the rest ofthe film delivers.After being diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor, Frank decides totake out people that deserve to die, according to himself and hisBonnie ride along Roxy, portrayed by Tara Lynne Barr with just theright amount of teenage attractiveness. Together they make a greatspree killer team and scour the nation, attempting to clean up the messthat America has left for them.This is Goldthwait's third official foray into directing movies for the"mainstream" and I am a fan every time I watch one of them. World'sGreatest Dad is a cult classic with Robin Williams and I haven't gottenmyself to watch Sleeping Dogs Lie yet, but I promise, I will.Goldthwait's got a style that is his own, a style that is hard todescribe, but is evident by his argumentative content and slightlyunrealistic universes. His films take place in our society, if it wasjust a little different, a little "out-there" if you will.God Bless America is a by product of films like Kick-Ass and Networkbut lacks the subtlety. The only issue that I have with America is thatit proves to be a little more than repetitive in its supposed message.We instantly understand that this isn't the best we can be doing withour society but Goldthwait makes sure Frank reminds us at every chancewe get. Goldthwait penned the script and it is easily seen that hisdirecting skills outshine his writing (sometimes, World's Greatest Dadis brilliant).Despite that one qualm with the feature, I was pleasantly surprised,entertained, and shocked over what was presented in God Bless America.I highly recommend watching this as loud as you can.Chad FilmPulse.net

A Lament for Kindness

This was the most moving film I've seen in a long time. I thought thekey line in the movie was: "We've lost our kindness". Though I wonderif there ever was a time when people were kind. In any case, this movieis a brave and passionate attempt to promote kindness, even though itseems like a lost cause. This is a third movie I've seen fromwriter-director Bobcat Goldthwait. "Sleeping Dogs Lie", "World'sGreatest Dad" and "God Bless America" constitute a major trilogy on thetragic state of our world. For some reason, I thought of Wes Andersonwhile watching this movie. Maybe because Wes Anderson uses Bill Murrayregularly, and this movie used Bill Murray's brother who has a similardisenchanted demeanor. I don't mean to criticize Wes Anderson (I likehis movies a lot), but I must say I prefer (and I'm more impressedwith) Bobcat, because he takes risks and takes on the real world anddoesn't repeatedly go back to his cute and sheltered fairy-taleenvironment.

Love the sentiment, sort of.

As much as I despise the plastic culture of media America, this moviehas a couple of problems. First, and perhaps disturbingly, is thenotion that you can shoot your way to purity. It reminds me of thejustifications Brevik has made in Norway for his mass murder; eventhough this is fiction, it's still kind of a crappy idea to publicizeit. Okay, okay, so it's satire, I get it, but the move veers around intone and notion and ultimately doesn't really say much. Yes, there's alot of crap in the world, yes, the dominant paradigm of way too manypeople is to be a zombie slut for celebrity, yes, so much of everythingis about the bread and circuses. And so what? As for the movie itself: perhaps the least believable character, atleast in terms of what she says, is the girl. She gives speecheswritten by a fifty-plus-year-old man, extolling things that wereperceived to be awesome in the 1970s but which were just as stupid andplastic as the things today are (I mean, seriously, Alice Cooper and"Only Women Bleed" - "the first rock-and- roller to wear makeup?" SOWHAT???) Every moment of that added to the lameness points of thescript.And yet I gave this movie a "6" - why? Well, the basic script is abouta 4, but hell yea, lots of things absolutely suck, and so: +2 for that!

Great parody of modern American culture

Not for the sensitive or prudish audience. In fact most likely to beseen by media as "glorifying mass murder", which is quite humorous asmedia responses like that are covered in one scene.By parody, I mean its more of a documentary. The film is mostly aboutthe ridiculousness and selfishness that is promoted in today's Americansociety and on TV. Or, as the main character puts it, people are simplymean. The plot then proceeds with him going around killing the meanpeople.The great thing is that the film also manages to pull itself off as acomedy. It's funny because the plot holds true to what some people haveprobably thought of doing if they could get away with it. However, thefilm tries to not be too though provoking in its presentation, probablyto actually make it marketable to a mass American audience.Overall very entertaining, would watch again. Some people will find itoffensive though, if they don't like dark comedy.
