God Bless America
The movie combines elements of political satire with black humor. On a mission to rid society of its most repellent citizens, terminally ill Frank makes an unlikely accomplice in 16-year-old Roxy to whack reality TV stars, bigots and others they find repugnant.

It takes dead aim at the culpability of hate-mongering politicians, the religious right and reality TV stars in making the United States the meanest, rudest country in the world.

Bobcat Goldthwait's God Bless America works well as a black comedy and as a satirical look at pop culture and human behavior.

The real problem is there's just not enough plot on which to hang the message that mean people suck.

Goldthwait's bile may be cathartic, but it also feels a bit cheap.

Sicko one-trick pony film, whose black comedy is tiresome and mostly unfunny.

This is no simple wish-fulfillment revenge fantasy. It's an indictment of us as viewers and tacit supporters of the cultural trash heap.

A brilliant, fearless, and merciless indictment of American culture, and how we've become the lowest common denominator

In this "Falling Down" of pop-cultural observation, Goldthwait forgets the thrill of the chase; he's more concerned with piercing verbal barbs than actual suspense.

The film features elaborate (and spot-on) parodies of mean-girl reality shows, YouTube nonsense and fatuous news reports but the people are thin and the plot meanders a bit.

It's about a terminally ill man who decides that if he is going to die, he is going to grab a gun and take a whole bunch of obnoxious people with him.

This funny, sick twist of social satire is certainly locked and loaded, even if its aim is sometimes off.
