God Bless America

description

Frank (Joel Murray) has had enough of the downward spiral of American culture. Divorced, recently fi red, and (possibly) terminally ill, Frank truly has nothing left to live for. Instead of taking his own life, he buys a gun and decides to take out his frustration on the cruelest, stupidest, most intolerant people he can imagine starting with some particularly odious reality television stars.

Frank fi nds an unusual accomplice in a high-school student named Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr), who shares his sense of rage and disenfranchisement. Together they embark on a nationwide assault on our country’s most irritating celebrities. Written and directed by taboo-busting fi lmmaker and comedian Bobcat Goldthwait (Shakes the Clown, Sleeping Dogs Lie, World’s Greatest Dad), God Bless America is a truly dark and very funny comedy for anyone who’s had enough of the dumbing down of our society.
