An American Carol breaks through the walls of political correctness, and speaks the truth! It makes you laugh; and then it makes you cry. This nation has a long cultural history of ridiculing our enemies. It's healthy, it's fun and it's good for us. You want real propaganda? Here it is. Undisguised, unabashed, and unashamed--speaking the truth in the broadest of terms, laced with a generous dose of slapstick and three-stooges-style humor. A gem of a film. We need to laugh at ourselves and at our enemies in these times, and Hollywood has totally missed the boat. This film will show them how it's done, and hopefully they will learn something from it.

This is a work of art with universal appeal. The fact that the "Christian right" is claiming it as their own, should not turn off everyone else. Whether your world view is shaped by Jungian archetypes, Western philosophy, Eastern karma, or the books of Judaism, you will find deep meaning in this tiny-budget film.

The landscape is overwhelming, the characters captivating and the last few minutes of the film will require at least two hankies. Liana Liberato turns in a stunning performance as Cadi, the guilt burdened child around whom the story revolves; and Peter Wingfield brings incredible warmth and passion to a character whose face is obscured for most of the film. This work will endure as an art classic.
