An American Carol only has 15% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes
My favorite review excerpt so far, from Rene Rodriguez of the Miami Herald:

I can't imagine anyone -- Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative, red-state or blue-state, earthling or E.T. -- finding An American Carol anything other than 'not funny.' And idiotic. And demeaning. And aggressively, persistently crummy.


:rofl: :rofl:

1. And the same wingnuts posted negative comments on all of them.
Now that's comedy!

As a two-fer with a Chuck Norris movie.

7. actually I doubt that, more like
they have a fantasy in their minds that one of these days they will meet McLame and be able to say "Hey john I am screw_my_mom_2000567 (there were 2,000,566 before this guy...) and i posted that comment to that nasty review" and in thier tiny minds they imagine he will not only recall that one stupid post but thatnk then for it...

6. It has like a 16 on Metacritic (out of 100) - That's HORRIBLE
Religulous has like a 55.

10. lol, I hadn't even checked Metacritic yet
I may download it and riff on it with my friends. But only if there's liquor involved.

11. It will start showing up soon on the shelves at Dollar Stores.



:rofl: :rofl:

Just like books written by Hannity and Coultergeist. Those damn
things aren't even worth the paper that was wasted on them.


:rofl: :rofl:

13. They've already scheduled the release date for the DVD -
apparently, it will be sometime in January.

I guess it gives the Freepers a chance to help them get through their own personal hell of having to watch the INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!

Personally, I always laugh at suicide bombers, so the first bit was amusing to me.

15. Great, I knew I could count on a Rotten movie
I saw Religulous Friday and I'm glad my money helped clobber American Carol at the box office.

16. ROFL--that's down 6% since YESTERDAY
I checked the site just to see exactly how horrible the reviews were. If this keeps up it'll be below 10% before the end of the week!

19. That is extremely likely
Considering there's only about 15 reviews up now. I wonder if it'll manage to tank to Glitter proportions? :rofl:

17. Even some of the conservative critics think it's a turkey.
One of the first reviews on that page, as a matter of fact.
