God Bless America (2011)

Starring: Joel Murray, Tara Lynn Barr
Director: Bobcat Goldthwait

Premise:
A terminally ill man who is sick of so-called celebrities with no talent goes on a killing spree to wipe them out. Along the way he picks up a teenage girl who shares his value.

My Take:
Goldthwait as a writer and director makes some extremely dark comedies. No exception here. A great social commentary on the "new" fifteen minutes of fame and how reality television is shaping the country.
Great dialog, though at times a bit preachy, in this smart script with solid performances. A tad bit of gore adds to the fun.

Rating: So Good
