Big Fat Important Movie (2008)
This comedy from David Zucker stars Kevin Farley and is also known as “An American Carol”. A documentary film maker wants to abolish the 4th of July and receives a visitation from three spirits who try to change his mind.
Unusually this is a right leaning comedy but do we really need a parody to tell us that Michael Moore is an idiot? The underlying message of the film is not too bad, sometimes we do need war, but by and large the execution of the film is poor at best. While the film does manage to avoid the pitfalls of being overly patriotic and becoming a self parody that is about the best you can say about it. Leslie Nielsen's part in the film seems entirely superfluous and the actual plot of the film is fairly jumbled, repetitive and not especially funny.
2/5 an unusual attempt but a poor result.
