Michael Moore is mocked in a new movie. A satire from Zucker brother.
Edited on Sat Aug-23-08 01:07 AM by Nasprin
Michael Moore is starring in a new movie, which for a change, makes fun of himself. The satire called "An American Carol, is directed by comedy satire king David Zucker, one of the famous Zucker brothers who made the series of movies The Naked Gun. In this movie Moore takes up the unusual role of playing himself, a fake Michael Moore, in a political slant where he is dogged by the very people he has made a living criticizing, such as Bill Orielly. There is even one scene in the movie where Bill Orielly slaps Moore in the face. In the movie Michael Moore is fed up with the America he sees around him. Even one of his lines in the movie says that he loves America so much he simply has to destroy it. Yes Moore is content to go around the country spreading his message, until one day he is visited by three ghosts, one of which is General Patton, played in the movie by Kelsey Grammar. And like the movie it spoofs (A Christmas Carol) Patton is Moore's unlikely angel, or sidekick, who has one job, to show Moore the errors of his way. Patton takes Moore on a trip designed to change the Moore's opinion of his country and himself.

Here is a link to the trailer.

On edit: the fake Moore is played by Kevin Farley.

1. I heard of this before, but I doubt it will be anything as good as Airplane or The Naked Gun

2. Just to be clear, it's not actually Michael Moore.
It's Kevin Farley.

Any movie with O'Reilly is a movie I don't want to see.

3. Michael Moore isn't in it. Why are you lying?
And why are you pushing a miserable attempt at humor by rightwingers? :shrug:

5. Oh come on it's funny.
I like Moore, but somebody was bound to spoof him sooner or later.

6. I've seen the trailer and it's awful.
The only chance it has is that it's so awful that it's funny for its awfulness, like Reefer Madness.

Nice try.
