David Zucker directed the 2008 American comedy film, An American Carol. The film stars Kevin Farley as Michael Malone. Michael Malone is a parody of liberal filmmaker Michael Moore. Members of the supporting cast include, Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, Dennis Hopper, Trace Adkins, Gary Coleman, Jillian Murray and Leslie Nielson. The movie was released on October 3, 2008. The screenplay was written by Myrna Sokoloff and David Zucker.
The film did not screen for critics because Zucker believed it would not get a fair hearing due to its conservative political viewpoint. The Los Angeles Times reported An American Carol received bad reviews from the New York Post and the Washington Times. The movie’s budget was $20 million, but it grossed just over $7 million. The film is a certified box office flop. This writer is still waiting for David Zucker to apologize for making the movie.
