Reżyser „zaangażowanych” filmów dokumentalnych o wydźwięku antyamerykańskim Michael Malone rozpoczyna krucjatę przeciwko obchodom Dnia Niepodległości, które to święto uważa za bzdurne i nikomu niepotrzebne. Na wieść o tym z zaświatów przybywają trzy duchy wielkich amerykańskich obywateli – generała Pattona, prezydenta Washingtona oraz gwiazdy country Trace Adkinsa – aby nawrócić malkontenta i zaszczepić w nim ducha patriotyzmu.

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'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.
