    Love & hate & laughter!

    If you hate pomposity, as in the kind that inflates the bulbous arch-US-liberal 'film maker' Michael Moore, then you will love this spoof that Hollywood has done all it could to suppress. But Zucker, and his recruited host of happy actors (Yes: genuine actors!) put their craft to good effect in puncturing the blimp. Laugh your head off in this ironic reprise of Dicken's Christmas Carol, set this time at the 4th of July (AMERICA: HOO-rah!!!) instead of Christmas. The only difference between Michael Moore's movies and this one is the difference between reality and fiction. Moore's 'reality' is fictional, whereas this 'fiction' is real! Read it and weep ... with laughter. Then invite your friends over for a group viewing.

    A Big Fat Waste of 1hr 20 mins

    I used to like Naked Gun/Hotshots/Top Secret etc when i was 16 years old, but quite frankly the humour in this film could probably only be appreciated by a simpleton. Definitely downhill compared to the above titles. Can't believe so many big name and respected actors/comedians agreed to make cameo appearances. Very poor film with few/no laughs
