Rating: 2/5 -- The new film's fire-power is too sloppy, too wide-spread; it barely scathes even the easy target of an American television talent show complete with Simon Cowell clone. Full Review

3 stars out of 5 -- It's the kind of cuckoo premise that director Bobcat Goldthwait excels at...

Rating: 7/10 -- Bobcat Goldthwait's God Bless America works well as a black comedy and as a satirical look at pop culture and human behavior. Full Review

Goldthwait's bile may be cathartic, but it also feels a bit cheap.
Philadelphia Weekly

Rating: 2/5 -- The satire feels hand-me-down and weak, and Goldthwait is firing blanks. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- If you're one of those few people who leave the cinema smiling after enjoying every last minute of mundane murder, what kind of monster does that make you? For even hinting at such philosophical conundrums, God Bless America is essential viewing. Full Review

Product Description:

Writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait skewers everything that's wrong with contemporary American culture in this firebomb satire about a disillusioned middle-aged man who embarks on a violent crime spree with a cynical teenage girl. Fed up with his selfish neighbors, fired from his soul-sucking job, and depressed at the infrequency of visits with his bratty young daughter, 45-year-old divorcé Frank (Joel Murray) prepares to end it all after being diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor. Just as Frank is about to pull the trigger, however, he has a sudden flash of inspiration: Before he takes his own life, he'll do the world a big favor and permanently silence the loudmouthed teenage star of a popular reality-television show. After witnessing the clumsy execution firsthand, high-school misfit Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr) convinces Frank to continue his bloody mission of cultural cleansing with her as his sidekick. In no time, Frank and Roxy are leaving a trail of bodies in their wake, and making headlines across the country. But all good things must come to an end, and when their partnership hits an unexpected hitch, Frank draws up plans to go out with a final bang.
