Society has gone to shit, at least according to cancer-ridden Frank (Joel Murray, “The Artist”) in the upcoming/already-on-demand film “God Bless America.” Sick of the idiots on reality TV shows and the lunatics in the Westboro Baptist Church, Franks decides to make his mark by killing a spoiled brat whom complained about her extravagant birthday gifts on her sweet 16 TV show. Along the way he meets the encouraging, young Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr, TV’s “The Suite Life of Zach and Cody”) who convinces him to spend his final days on an all-out killing spree to rid the US of as many scumbags as possible.
Having directed three years of Jimmy Kimmel and “The Man Show,” it’s safe to say we can expect a lot more raunchy comedy from writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait. Though, from the trailer, the tight budget may have killed some of the essential production quality this kind of film desperately needs. Watching Frank get rid of some of the filth should be enjoyable enough on its own, as long as the movie doesn’t get too preachy.
Hopefully “God Bless America” will deliver plenty of laughs as its commentary on today’s social stupidity enlightens instead of bears down on audiences.
“God Bless America” is currently available on-demand from a variety of sources and will make its way to theaters May 11th.
