A couple of years late, but a treat for those sick & tired of Hollywood's hate-America/hate-JudeoChristian paradigm
Went to see Zucker's movie last night. Not his best, but loved it. Like Zucker, my political persuasions were influenced by 9-11, not least by the fact that I was near the towers that day. Wrapped around the premise that America is a force for good in the world, it has all of Zucker's trademark slapstick gags, timing and execution - a welcome relief from the inferior drivel permeating the market (i.e., Meet the Spartans, Epic Movie, etc.) Zucker uses a caricature of Michael Moore as the vehicle for delivering the message that the U.S. is, in fact, engaged in a war against radical Islam. He also skewers the idealism of college students, the burnt-out, bitter ranks of liberal university professors who enable them and the myriad leftist/anti-capitalist special-interest groups that march on the streets brandishing puppets and signs, and denouncing America. This movie is unlikely to change the mind of liberals. But it is a wish that people like Michael Moore will some day grow up.
