Blind Buy..... American Carol? - Blu-ray Forum

ScarredLungs · 12-30-2008, 06:22 PM

I heard this was a pretty fun movie, but i am not sure if it good enough for a blind buy. I believe the movie is being released next tuesday (1/6)

Thoughts?

Trust me, you don't want any parts of this movie. The very definition of horrible filmmaking.

Was it that bad?

I ordered it from Amazon yesterday. Read some reviews and, luckily, was able to cancel it before they got it ready for shipping (it came out today).

For Zucker fans, it was that particularly traumatic and career-killing Mel Gibson moment of "Jumping anaconda, turns out the director/actor/screenwriter we loved for years really WAS a raving lunatic in daily life after all!

"

(If you want to have your illusions retroactively shattered about the Naked Gun movies--and that David Zucker may have actually been serious when he threw in those Reagan/Bush-era gags about Evil Gorbachev, dropping bombs on silly Saddam Hussein, or pictures of Michael Dukakis on the wall next to the Titanic--go ahead and rent...
Just remember, once watched, you can't UN-watch it.

It was a waste of 88 mins. Netflix'd it and i'm happy I did just that. She's all ready to go in the mail tomorrow. It's a "conservative" movie. I liked the Bill O'Reilly cameo but that was about it.

i tend to lean right and i thought it would be an ok movie but imo it was very bad. a couple laughs but thats it. i dont think its really even worth renting

I actually enjoyed this movie a great deal.

Oh well.

I bought the BD today @ Best Buy. I think they bumped the release up.

Pretty basic disc.. DD5.1 and 2.0, plus commentary and deleted scenes. Transfer looks good to me.
