#AMERICA THE MOTION PICTURE MOVIE#
All of that happens within the first ten minutes of the movie.įrom there, the movie aims to bring elements of contemporary filmmakers like John Woo and franchises like The Fast Saga and the Marvel Cinematic Universe into a two-dimensional animated world. After turning into a werewolf, Arnold kills Lincoln whose dying wish is for George to name the new country America. Benedict Arnold (Andy Samberg) proceeds to wipe them out before turning his sights on Abraham Lincoln (Will Forte) and his best friend George Washington (Channing Tatum). America: The Motion Picture opens with a batshit crazy culling of the Founding Fathers as they play beer pong. The jokes in that film don't repeat themselves ad nauseum. Films like Sausage Party are funny because the crass humor is supplemented with a unique and original take. There are many comedies that revel in insane and ridiculous jokes that work despite the stupidity of their plots. There are gay jokes aplenty as well as humor that sounds smart but is so obvious that many may end up rolling their eyes. The entire movie plays like a dare between drunken and stoned college kids trying to one-up each other with insane ideas that border on offensive. There is no effort for the film to make any sense as the story kills historical figures that survived the war, transplants Abraham Lincoln to Colonial America, and changes race and gender without batting an eye. With a top-notch voice cast and no regard for historical accuracy, America: The Motion Picture starts out strong before becoming a repetitive and unfunny mess.Īmerica: The Motion Picture is a cross between Comedy Central's Drunk History through the lens of 1980s action movies like Predator and Rambo.
#AMERICA THE MOTION PICTURE SERIES#
With the animation prowess of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller as producers and the creative team behind FXX series Archer as writers and director, this revisionist romp blends everything red-blooded Americans love in their movies: sex, violence, profanity, and winning. Review: Based on the trailer alone, America: The Motion Picture should have been the definitive patriotic spoof in film history. Plot: A chainsaw-wielding George Washington teams with beer-loving bro Sam Adams to take down the Brits in a tongue-in-cheek riff on the American Revolution.
