It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I've known about this movie for a long time. I'm not going to go into any major backstory here, but I do remember looking through a magazine one day in 2011 (or so), and reading a review for it that was slightly positive. Reading said review, I was intrigued with the premise of a man who's had enough of stupidity... but only got to see the film tonight.I'm going to be honest here: it was not the masterwork you'll see some people say it is, but for what it was, I liked it. With a premise like this, the overall execution could go one of two ways: 1) A movie that tries to be considered "edgy", has little fun with itself, tries to be smart, but only ends up being mind-numbing dumbness, and takes itself far too seriously... OR, 2) A movie that has fun with itself, is funny, and strays away from trying to seem "cool" or "hip", all while being intelligent and bringing up valid points and issues. While I am glad to say that God Bless America went with the latter, that surely doesn't mean it's not flawed... because it is.Before I get into that, allow me to tell you what I actually enjoyed here. First of all, it's funny! While I rarely consistently laugh during Comedy movies, the first 10 minutes or so had me laughing pretty hard! I don't know too much about Dark Humor, but if you ask me, the Director/Writer of this film did quite a grand job. The Commentary in play here was also really intelligent, and actually makes EXCELLENT points about American Society. The acting was great, ESPECIALLY from the 2 leads (both of which I'd never heard of until the credits began to roll). Also, speaking of the 2 lead characters, they were pretty interesting. Are they the best in all of Cinema? Uh... why would you think that? Absolutely not... BUT, as characters, they were pretty well written, and you can sort-of (SORT-OF) get behind why they're doing something so terrible. The story was also interesting... but I'll get into that in a bit here.Now for my 2 flaws I had with this movie. While you can kick it around, ruff it up, nitpick it, say it's got loads more than 2 flaws all you want, I only managed to find 2 flaws. The first out of the 2 flaws would have to be some of the ways the story was told. Throughout the film, I had this feeling that anything major that was going to happen was told through exposition, glaring through a television at one point or another. There's a bit of the story that, though I saw it coming from the beginning, should have been shocking, like a piece that you never considered until it popped up... but I didn't feel as shocked as I could have been because of the way the filmmaker decided to let that information out to the viewers. My second flaw: the ending. Again, no spoilers, BUT... the ending kind of kept me hanging. After watching the film, I did connect the ending to a bit of dialogue from earlier which perfectly foreshadowed it... but even then, it just felt cheap. Did it make sense? Yes, but sometimes the thing that makes the most sense isn't always the most satisfying, even in cases where you SHOULDN'T be satisfied and you know it. I guess this is more of a nitpick than a legitimate flaw, considering this film in general, but I don't consider it to be a nitpick you can just wipe off your shoulders and forget about.Overall, God Bless America is an interesting film. Flawed, yes, but at the same time, it also manages to reach for the fruit of intelligence. I get that this isn't a film everyone will like, because of an inconsistent tone (which I, personally, didn't notice at all) and such. For what it is, I liked it.

You know what I hate? People who are offended by this movie - I believe they might be the kind of people that end up dead in this incredible film. This probably the most perfectly crafted film ever created. It is brilliant - from the writing to the final edit, I have nothing but rave reviews. The music is awesome, the acting is superb, and the symbolism is subtle and powerful. I find this film cathartic! When I am having one of those days where I hate the world, watching God Bless America makes me feel better. I like to think that somewhere out there, Frank and Roxie are taking care of another jerk. To the genius writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait - this may not be your most popular film, but this could be your most important and meaningful film. Very well done sir. I just watched this movie for the millionth time and given recent events in the news, (the mass shooting in Orlando and the reaction by religious groups) the message of God Bless America couldn't be more relevant. Some of you may think this movie advocates violence - but I think the real message is "don't be a dick." Wish more people got it.

The first Bobcat movie I saw was World's Greatest Dad, which was another excellent piece, but God Bless America just blew my mind in so many directions! With it's intention to punish the wicked it reminded me of another great dark comedy, The Last Supper. This was just so incredible. I don't know if there's much else I can say that hasn't already been said about this movie. I will say I had no clue Bobcat was this much of a genius. Always did enjoy his silly roles like on Police Academy and his comedy routines, but WOW! I love movies like this that force you to think, that show you ball busting honest social satire! I am so grateful that Netflix had this movie, and I gave it a shot, (haha shot). I loved it but I did give it a 9 out of 10, mostly because I wish there would have been more explanations to things, specifically the little girl and her intentions and what caused her to go along with this. Yes she did explain a little bit about her life with her family, however there could have been more, was she bullied in school, or was it that she just had psychotic personality and just flat out enjoyed it. I guess it's good though that they are letting the audience draw conclusions and that it was a bit exaggerated, but still funny and honest. But this movie was definitely a cautionary tale, beware pushing someone too far, they may make you eat your parents in chili, like Cartman did.

Frank gets fired because of a minor flirt whit a receptionist and has troubles at home with his rude neighbors. He decides to make justice and shoots everyone who bothers him or acts inappropriate in society. Soon she mets a young girls called Roxy who shares the same principles as him and forms a team do kill all the jerks in the country.This time we have to be grateful that is just a movie but the concept is crass. Think that this sort of things happened in real life and I wonder if that killer inspired himself after watching a movie like this? or if a troubled person who see this and wants to do the same? Will not be wrong? I'm surprised that it has a good rating because films like this should be banned forever. The best part is the end where the two are finally getting killed. That is the blessing for me. Hope you understand me why.
