Review for “An American Carol” the movie.

I rented and watched the movie “An American Carol” last night and thought it was really funny, but I was disappointed in the bad language. It’s very pro – American, which is a breath of fresh air coming from Hollywood. Some of my favorite parts where when the character Michael Malone is doing a documentary in Cuba on how great the healthcare system is, while in the background people are being shot, also Bill Oreilly interview with “Rosy O’Connell” on how Christians are no different than radical Islam (You just have to see it, to see how loony it is). I’d give this movie 4 stars (would be 5 if not for the language) and would recommend watching it thru ClearPlay (see banner below for more info) to filter out the bad language.
