Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A politically charged 2008 comedy from David Zucker about the conspicuously-named Michael Malone (Kevin Farley), a bitter documentary filmmaker who is disgusted with the United States of America and decides to start up a campaign to ban the Fourth of July holiday. The night before the big anti-July 4th rally, President John F. Kennedy returns from the dead to tell the filmmaker that he will be visited by three patriotic spirits who will attempt to get him to see the error of his ways.Draws a great deal from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, of course.The film features a number of prominent number of conservative talent and overall comedic actors, including Kelsey Grammer, Robert Davi, Geoffrey Arend, Jon Voight, Leslie Nielsen, James Woods, Kevin Sorbo and Trace Adkins.It was a box office flop and received largely negative reviews from critics. The reception torpedoed Zucker's career.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with An American Christmas Carol, a serious adaptation of A Christmas Carol released in 1979 and starring Henry Winkler. | |

Action Survivor: Michael. One minute, he's eating a hoagie. The next, he's fighting off zombies with a shotgun. | |

Artistic License – History: The film's depiction of history is heavily tinted through conservative goggles. For instance, Neville Chamberlain is portrayed as a humongous kiss ass who shines Hitler's boots and cedes every country in Europe over to him, even though he used the time bought by the Munich Agreement to begin rearming the British military and is actually the one who declared war on Germany. | |

Author Avatar: Michael is "sort of" this to David Zucker. After 9/11, Zucker began rethinking his leftist political beliefs and ultimately became a conservative. In the movie, Michael taking time to contemplate 9/11 serves as the turning point that switches his political beliefs too. It's arguable that the character's main purpose isn't to mock Moore (although that is clearly high up on the agenda), but for Zucker to laugh at himself for how he used to be. | |
