I saw this movie at the Sundance Film Festival last month and I can't remember laughing this much at a movie in a long time. Mainly because the cast and crew spoke the truth about all the flag-o-philes and patriots who came out of the woodworks after 9/11. The movie was clearly made on a low budget, but that didn't limit the comedy at all. There were so many layers to the satire, I'd be hard pressed to list them here. But I imagine that this film will be the M*A*S*H of the war on terrorism. Bravo to all involved and if you can catch this at another festival, I urge you to do so.
