Since it's the only version of A Christmas Carol based around July 4, Collin is taking this month to review An American Carol. From David Zucker (The Naked Gun, Airplane, Top Secret, and apparently the Republican party) comes this 2008 political comedy. Michael Malone (Kevin Farley) is a documentary filmmaker who needs to love the 4th of July, and he'll have his views changed with the reprimanding of three ghosts (Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, Trace Adkins) and a whole lot of conservative guest stars. Can this take on A Christmas Carol that has the complete opposite message of Dickens book beat the odds and actually be funny?
