God Bless America cries out for a change in a funny, shocking, unflinching manner and probes the depths of what it means to be a black comedy.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 17, 2022

For many of us, this garbage is getting old, and with God Bless America, Goldthwait has allowed us a cathartic outpouring of violence that offers a brief stopgap for our current sensory oppression.

| Nov 19, 2020

What fundamentally didn't work for me was that all of the wit, humorous rants, and social commentary felt like they were aimed squarely at pop culture.

| Mar 31, 2020

God Bless America has its crooked heart in the right place; too bad it's so inept it can't do anything about it.

| Original Score: 1.8/5 | Nov 8, 2019

If you're one of those few people who leave the cinema smiling after enjoying every last minute of mundane murder, what kind of monster does that make you? For even hinting at such philosophical conundrums, God Bless America is essential viewing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 26, 2019

It's simply a rant stretched over an extended running time, lacking in characterisations, direction and audience repayment - aside from a few mild chuckles.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 14, 2018

While Goldthwait's heart is in the right place, it's unlikely the blood spilled in his film will make annoying, loathsome people finally straighten ... up.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 25, 2017

Goldthwait's bile may be cathartic, but it also feels a bit cheap.

Full Review | May 3, 2015

It takes dead aim at the culpability of hate-mongering politicians, the religious right and reality 온라인카지노추천 stars in making the United States the meanest, rudest country in the world.

| Original Score: B | Jun 2, 2013

A brilliant, fearless, and merciless indictment of American culture, and how we've become the lowest common denominator

| Mar 8, 2013

Bobcat Goldthwait's God Bless America works well as a black comedy and as a satirical look at pop culture and human behavior.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 15, 2013

It's an intriguing satirical idea, and it works very effectively in places, while being tremendously didactic and heavy-handed in others.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 4, 2012

Sicko one-trick pony film, whose black comedy is tiresome and mostly unfunny.

| Original Score: C | Dec 3, 2012

Enjoyable, over-the-top, and nowhere near as black as the premise sounds, God Bless America is essentially an extended comic op-ed piece.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 26, 2012

It's a wonderful movie, spoofing and shooting all the worst things about our failing civilization, from the Tea Party, to vicious talk show hosts ...

| Original Score: A | Nov 20, 2012

If you can take that premise, I think you'll go along with the film and it's really, in its very weird way, quite funny.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 15, 2012

It's not that you don't sympathise with the characters' sentiments it is, though, that you can't actually go along with their agenda.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 15, 2012

Gory, unfunny satire that deserves a prize for the most strained provocation of the year.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 15, 2012

God Bless America opens strong but finishes with a preachy bludgeoning.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 13, 2012

Though hilariously funny and luridly hypnotic, God Bless America is quite possibly the angriest and saddest film of the last ten years.
