An American Carol suffers not so much from its perceived political bias, but from the fact that it simply is not very funny.

The mean spirit of Zucker's satire hardly jibes with the liberal spirits of the original tale. November 29, 2018 | Full Review…

Utterly asinine, sophomoric, tasteless, the movie has much in common with Zucker's Airplane!, The Naked Gun 2 1/2 and Scary Movie sequels, minus the laughs. October 13, 2008 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

Poorly made indie production has a script that feels like a list of ripostes collected over the last several years to liberal criticisms of the U.S.: The whole enterprise feels far more agenda- than entertainment-driven. October 6, 2008

It's a polemic, a screed, a combination comic rant and sentimental flag-waver that doesn't work as either. October 6, 2008 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

It often takes mockery and even silliness to make one see the best and worst of a situation or themselves or just have to have some fun and it always seems to be funnier when done on film and by David Zucker. November 6, 2019 | Full Review…

American Carol is [Zucker's] first attempt to merge his newfound worldview with his work. Unfortunately, he swings at so many progressive targets, the punches he does land aren't backed by enough force. October 10, 2018 | Full Review…

You could strip every last marginally political idea from the movie, and it would still probably be one of the most grueling, unfunny things released that year. May 5, 2011 | Rating: 2/10 | Full Review…
