Actors: Joel Murray, Tara Lynne Barr
Director: Bobcat Goldthwait
Bobcat Goldthwait has carved out a little niche for himself making small, dark comedies, and God Bless America certainly continues that tradition. Attacking the inanity of mass culture, God Bless America could be viewed as a revenge fantasy, but I take it more as one man's journey to express himself. It's not that reality television, shock jocks, and celebrity culture are eo ipso bad - it's that they stifle thought in favor of regurgitation.
I don't know about the characterization in this film, and it's often far too 'tell-not-show', but there should be more movies like this.
