Title: God Bless America<\/p>\n

Directed By: Bobcat Goldthwait<\/p>\n

Starring: Joel Murray, Tara Lynne Barr<\/B><\/p>\n

Extremely violent comedy is tough to pull off. Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve got a main character on a killing spree; how\u2019s an audience supposed to sympathize with that? A good reason to kill couldn\u2019t hurt, but generally there\u2019s always a rift between that character\u2019s thought process and an audience\u2019s moral and God Bless America<\/I> is no different. However, where writer-director Bobcat Goldthwait succeeds is where films like Super<\/I> and Hobo with a Shotgun<\/I> did not, in making the leads highly likable. <\/p>\n

Frank\u2019s (Joel Murray) got it rough. Not only does he have an obnoxious family with a constantly crying baby living next door, but friendly flirting with the office secretary gets him fired and he\u2019s diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor. Rather than wallow in self-pity, Frank opts to make a difference with his remaining days; Frank decides he\u2019s going to eradicate everything that rubs him the wrong way, starting with Chloe (Melinda Page Hamilton), an over privileged teenager who throws a tantrum when her parents give her the wrong car for her birthday on a reality show.<\/p>\n

After Frank blows Chloe away, her parents and friends are upset, but someone out there understands and appreciates what Frank did, one of Chloe\u2019s classmates, Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr). Roxy doesn\u2019t just give him the thumbs up or, god forbid, offer him a high-five, rather she pleads to join him on his killing spree. Initially, Frank\u2019s reluctant to take on a partner, but Roxy proves to not only share similar ideals, but is very willing to act on them.<\/p>\n

Step one to making an absurdly violent comedy work? Get the audience on the protagonist\u2019s side. God Bless America<\/I> opens with an intimate look at Frank\u2019s existence. In less than 15 minutes, Goldthwait offers up a solid sense of what Frank\u2019s average day is like, not only establishing him as a generally likable guy, but making it so that when his norm is disrupted, the viewer feels it just as much as Frank. He\u2019s the nice guy who gets the short end of the stick at every possible turn, so while his cancer diagnosis is a sad story, it almost feels good that the bad news lights a fire under him.<\/p>\n

But what makes Frank\u2019s turnaround work so well is that Goldthwait doesn\u2019t give up the sad sap and turn to the trigger-happy renegade; there\u2019s a calculated transition happening. Goldthwait doesn\u2019t undermine the fact that Frank\u2019s got cancer, allotting him some time to wallow and then using amusingly and disturbingly relatable events to pull him out of it. From there, Frank doesn\u2019t knock on Chloe\u2019s door and put a bullet in her head; he really thinks about it.<\/p>\n

As funny and poignant as some of the material is up until this point, the fun doesn\u2019t really begin until Roxy enters the picture. What a fantastic character! She could easily sustain her own feature. She\u2019s absolutely off her mind, but is so honestly dedicated to Frank that it shows she does have a heart, which is all a viewer will need to root for her.<\/p>\n

Goldthwait really couldn\u2019t have found better leads. Murray\u2019s got a perfect degree of innocence to him, but gives Frank just enough strength to make you believe he\u2019s really capable of committing these atrocities. As for Barr, this girl needs more leading roles. Sure, she\u2019s got the benefit of working with a wildly colorful character, but it\u2019s Barr herself who really makes Roxy unique and alive. She\u2019s sick and twisted, but there\u2019s such a sense of sincerity and passion in everything she says, it\u2019s easy to both laugh and oddly take her seriously. She\u2019s an out-of-control character for quite a bit of the film, but Barr has no trouble whatsoever switching gears when necessary and putting the focus on how authentic Roxy\u2019s relationship is with Frank. <\/p>\n

On the technical side, there are a few instances where glimmers of a low budget creep in, but otherwise, Goldthwait nails just about everything. He gives the actors the spotlight rather than the camera, but knows exactly when to throw in a shot that says loads based on an extreme angle or other blunt technique alone. The music cues are spot on as are the edits, both of which do a great service to God Bless America<\/I>\u2019s tone.<\/p>\n

When you hear a movie focuses on two people who run around killing with abandon, you think they\u2019ve just got to be bad people, right? Well, that\u2019s what makes God Bless America<\/I> stand out. Frank and Roxy are ruthless murderers, but Goldthwait manages to do it in a way that doesn\u2019t feel mean-spirited, but is funny, entertaining and even quite sweet at times.<\/p>\n
