Storyline
At a July 4 barbecue, gramps tells the kids the story of Michael Malone, a documentary filmmaker and Michael Moore look-alike who hates America and wants to abolish July 4th. He refuses to celebrate with his nephew Josh, who's shipping out soon to the Middle East. That night, Michel has a vision of his hero, JFK, who predicts that three ghosts will visit Michael. Sure enough, General Patton, George Washington, and country music star Trace Adkins visit Michael show him the fruits of patriotism, just wars, and pacifism. Meanwhile, Arab terrorists want Malone to help them with a propaganda film. Is he the next Leni Riefenstahl or will he see the light? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

The pew in St. Paul's chapel that the Washingtons used during President Washington's 15 months in New York is actually against the north wall. The movie puts it in the middle of the church. See more »Quotes

I thought the movie was awesome! It was funny and different. You see the same thing out there over and over again, but this movie was sharp and intelligent but at the same time slapstick funny. Totally recommend it! The actors were very well played, kelsey grammar, Voight were both great. The Rosie O'Donnel scene was great, laughed my head off. Some points of the movie were like .. OK already I get the point... but overall I felt like this movie had a little of a deeper meaning to it, while being stupidly funny, I REALLY liked it. I liked the whole parody to Michael Moore... well... cuz that guy is a complete moron. Enjoy the movie!! You're ganna love it!
