Zucker film veteran Leslie Nielsen opens the film, telling his grandkids the tale of one Michael Malone – a producer of anti-American documentaries and the instigator of a movement to abolish the Fourth of July.  Borrowing from Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”, Malone is visited by John F. Kennedy, played by Chriss Anglin, General George S. Patton, played with a perfect balance of comedic timing and seriousness by Kelsey Grammer and the Angel of Death – played by country music superstar Trace Atkins, who take Malone on a life changing journey past, present and future.  An excellent cast of characters include bumbling terrorists, John Voight’s stellar performance as “George Washington” and the ACLU lawyer destroying judge played by Dennis Hopper, whose character brought down the house with cheers from the audience.  Cameos by John O’Hurley, Paris Hilton and others too numerous to mention, were just a few of the surprises that kept movie goers on the edge of their seats.

The story is told using humor mixed with the underlying message often forgotten in films and real life – that we do live in the greatest nation on Earth and must not allow the actions of misguided, militant groups to destroy her from within.
