It’s not the Zucker brothers, though. It’s just David Zucker…

OK, well, besides that slight little gaff, did you watch the video?  And if so, what did you think?

I thought it looked pretty funny, dunno though. It seems decently nuanced and the guy playing the Moore expy seems to do a decent job of not just coming off like a complete caricature, which actually would serve the comedy better.

I do know that I feel like I ought to go see it at least three times to piss off all the liberals on its IMDB message board that are spazzing out like this movie pissed on their mother, tho.

YOu should read what they say about it over on the Huffington Post!  Man, you’d think Zucker was making a film proposing more global warming while raping a baby manatee and hitting the switch on the electric chair with Tookie Williams in it.

Well I’m an old Zucker-fan, so I will watch it. The trailer left me sceptical though. But I’m hoping, I’m hoping… :)

I think Kevin Farley should have used a more high-pitched, nasally whiny voice more akin to Moore’s real voice though.

I want to see it just to hear Moore get called a “Turdhead” again. That bit about all the Mohammed Husseins was pretty funny too.

I can imagine how well film critics are going to like this one. Imagine someone saying something BAD about Michael Moore! It’s like “The Last Temptation of Christ”. Lefty film critics everywhere will call for the head of Mr. Zucker. Of course, they’ll have to stand in line behind all the offended terrorists. Even film critics have a better sense of humor than Muslim extremists.

Even if “American Carol” isn’t that funny.  It has to be funnier than “Canadian Bacon”

Meh. I wouldn’t get my hopes up to high about something by a director whose recent films have included Scary Movie 3+4, My Boss’s Daughter, and BASEketball.
I can’t imagine film critics will be overly offended by a smackdown of Moore.  Most critics seemed to like “Team America” and its psychotic, terrorist Michael Moore just fine, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a critic who liked “Canadian Bacon,” so I don’t think Moore is sacred in the film critic community.  I doubt they’ll much care for Zucker’s right-wing politics, but my best guess is that if they don’t like this movie, it’ll be because they legitimately don’t believe it’s funny.  (Not unheard of for a David Zucker film)

Incidentally, has anyone read Moore’s new book?  Surprised there hasn’t been any comment on it.

I saw an excerpt of his “Voting Guide” in the latest issue of Rolling Stone. He gives Obama six ways to lost the election. Predictably, number six was “denounce Michael Moore.” Because if you denounce him, you’re really denouncing the millions of people who agree with him. He fails to mention that anyone he endorses inevitably loses the election.

Hate to say this… I thought Canadian Bacon was really funny.

"But you’re not a spirit!”
“I know. I just like slapping you.”

I worked on “Canadian Bacon”.  I knew MM.  I didn’t think it was funny when I read the script and Mike didn’t have the directorial skills to make it better.  “American Carol” is probably just a little funnier.  It probably has three laughs in it.

I liked the bit at the end when John Candy says, “Well, home sweet home,” and then it cuts to the American shoreline, where there’s a big, ugly factory spouting smoke into the air.  That was funny.

Edwin S. Simon, NBS News Anchor: The Canadians. They walk among us. William Shatner. Michael J. Fox. Monty Hall. Mike Meyers. Alex Trebek. All of them Canadians. All of them here.

I particularly like the first one as i’ve been complaining about this for years that they’ll take over one day.
