Exclusive: Bobcat Goldthwait Talks God Bless America
13 May 2012 2:44 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Loveless, jobless and possibly terminally ill, Frank has had enough of the downward spiral of America. With nothing left to lose, Frank takes his gun and decides to off the stupidest, cruelest and most repellent members of society with an unusual accomplice: 16-year-old Roxy, who shares his sense of rage and disenfranchisement. From stand-up comedian and director Bobcat Goldthwait comes God Bless America, a scathing and hilarious attack on all that is sacred in the United States of America. Our own Paulington James Christensen III recently met up with the two leads, Joel Murray and Tara Lynne Barr, as well as his personal idol Bobcat Goldthwait, to chat about this dark, twisted look at America.

Interview: Joel Murray Takes No Prisoners in ‘God Bless America’
8 May 2012 8:53 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Joel Murray, as most people know, comes from the Murray clan of Wilmette, Illinois, which includes his fellow actor brothers Brian Doyle and Bill. He has established himself as a memorable TV and movie character actor, and portrays a man gone wild in the Bobcat Goldthwait-directed “God Bless America.”
Murray is Frank, a middle aged man recently divorced, fired from his job and possibly terminally ill. With nothing much left to live for, he decides to take out his frustrations on what he considers the idiotic in society – he begins a shooting spree by targeting reality TV stars. He finds an unusual accomplice in a high school student named Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr), and together they embark on a nationwide assault on the pseudo-celebrities of America. This is Murray’s second film collaboration with director/writer Bobcat Goldthwait, having appeared in “Shakes the Clown” in 1992.
Joel Murray was one of nine Murray siblings, »

Interview: Bobcat Goldthwait Shoots Idiocy in the Face in ‘God Bless America’
7 May 2012 6:23 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Embarrassments both mortifying and tragic are viewed through a cathartically hilarious and disarmingly humanistic lens in the cinema of Bobcat Goldthwait. Over the last decade, the “Police Academy” star has emerged as one of the most gifted cinematic satirists in America. His comedic targets are often audaciously provocative and there’s always a wealth of sincerity within the snark.
His jaw-dropping 2003 farce “Windy City Heat” allegedly duped a talentless actor Perry Caravello into unknowingly joining a phony production that promised instant stardom. 2006’s “Sleeping Dogs Lie” charted the downward spiral of a young woman’s personal life after she came clean about her dappling in bestiality, while 2008’s “World’s Greatest Dad” featured a career-best performance from Robin Williams as a father who took advantage of a sudden tragedy to make a last-ditch attempt at happiness.
Goldthwait’s latest film is “God Bless America,” a brutally scathing indictment of America’s increasingly vapid culture. »

Tmp's Summer 2012 Movie Guide: May
30 April 2012 12:42 PM, PDT | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »
Honestly, if I was forced to judge Summer 2012 at first glance, I would say it was pretty weak. Compared to 2011 and 2010, there's just not as many movies to look forward to. While it seems easy to write off this Summer as a dud, I have three reasons why it might actually be awesome; The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, and Prometheus. Honestly, that's all Summer 2012 needs in order to be one for the history books. Even then, there's still more than enough films to warrant your attention this summer. To help you sort through them all, we've once again compiled all the most interesting films of the season into four easy to read, informative guides. For the next four days, we'll take you on a journey through the best cinema has to offer in Summer 2012. Welcome to our Summer 2012 Movie Guide! Here's Part One, focusing entirely on the month of May. »

Review: God Bless America

Stars: Joel Murray, Tara Lynne Barr, Mackenzie Brooke Smith | Written and Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait
One of my favourite films of 2010 was Bobcat Goldthwait’s black comedy World’s Greatest Dad, a brilliant and very funny film that was shamefully under-marketed; thus it never really found an audience. I’m not even sure it has much of a cult following, meaning I feel obliged to blow the horn for it at every opportunity.
Goldthwait has returned with another slice of jet black satirical humour with God Bless America. It stars Joel Murray as Frank, a divorced father at the end of his tether. Frank has gone beyond being disillusioned with life in twenty-first century America and struggles to contain the rage he feels, caused by society’s general lack of humanity, aggressively conservative politics being spouted by Fox News-esque TV channels, Westboro Baptist Church-style religious intolerance, reality TV and general rudeness. »

SXSW '12 Review: 'God Bless America' A Funny, Insightful & Outrageous Indictment Of Contemporary Culture
9 March 2012 9:01 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
At the movies, righteous anger is in painfully short supply these days, but writer-director Bobcat Goldthwait manages to harness all of his (and more than a little bit of ours) in “God Bless America,” a scathingly funny indictment of the vagaries of contemporary U.S. culture. Compiling an encyclopedic list of offenses unleashed upon the world through the entertainment industry, the pretense of political discourse, and the increasing indignities of human interaction, Goldthwait crafts a revenge fantasy that’s smart, specific, and imminently sympathetic, even when its characters retaliate in admittedly extreme or inappropriate ways. Desperate for a time before TMZ without purely succumbing to rose-colored nostalgia, “God Bless America” is a twisted but troublingly accurate chronicle of contemporary inhumanity, viewed through the eyes of a man no longer capable of ironic detachment.
