David Zucker legújabb filmjében nincs kímélet! Michael Malone (Kevin Farley – Ebadta tolvajok, Gázfickó) a függetlenségi nap megünneplése ellen kampányolna, ám őszinte meglepetésére a múlt szellemei hamar rövidre zárják ebbéli kísérleteit. Miután találkozik Kennedyvel, Patton tábornokkal (Kelsey Grammer – Frasier - A dumagép, Fame - Hírnév), Lincolnnal és Washingtonnal (Jon Voight – A nemzet aranya, Transformers), szemlélete alapjaiban változik meg. Az ünnep elleni tüntetésen már mint ellenzéki jelenik meg, kiváltva ezzel az ott lévők masszív ellenérzését. Michael, miután leárulózzák, hamarosan az életéért fut, s számtalan kalandot átvészelve belátja, hogy végül is minden úgy van jól, ahogy van... (Budapest Film)

"It's getting harder and harder to find suicide bombers. All the good ones are dead." Big surprise. I didn't get such fits of laughter as I did during the opening set in Afghanistan by the end of the film (well, except for the video about radical Christians), but An American Carol still entertained me greatly and intelligently by today's poor parody standards. I was glad to see that David Zucker still has "it" and that timing gags is not a dirty word for him. I'd say it's a bit like Monty Python's Life of Brian (and not just because of one scene with a fanatical, unthinking crowd). For it is astonishingly easy to both hate and love the highly satirical An American Carol.__P.S. All Leslie Nielsen fans must watch the credits until the end. ()
The best thing about An American Carol is Leslie Nielsen and the fact that it’s a parody without relying on the crude humor that’s become so common in these types of films recently. You can definitely feel David Zucker's classic parody touch, but it doesn’t have the same sharpness or quick pace as some of his earlier work. There are a few moments that genuinely made me laugh, I won’t deny that. But overall, it’s just ridiculously over-the-top, and honestly, impossible to follow. ()
I think I know what Zucker was trying to get at, but he does it in such a damn unfunny and insipid way that most of the world promptly blasts him with such terrible reviews. Even if you really want a better critique of contemporary America, you also won't find it in Michael Moore’s films. ()
It certainly doesn't reach the quality of other parodies or previous episodes, far from it, but there were a lot of hilarious scenes and jokes. In places (quite often for my taste) there were deaf moments and Leslie Nielsen appeared only five minutes, but I still laughed from the heart a few times. ()
