Everyone’s a winner… AN AMERICAN CAROL

Hellloooooooo, Holiday Celebrants!

Hollywood has re-imagined Charles Dickens‘ A Christmas Carolmore often than pubescent boys have re-imagined the Neve Campbell-Denise Richards pool scene from Wild Things

No one’s asked me, but I’d like to see a Jewish spin on Scrooge, A Chanukah Hymn, in which penny-pinching alter cocker Elijah Bupkis is visited over eight nights by the ghosts of Chanukah past, present, future, future perfect, imperfect, pluperfect, conditional and past continuous. Perhaps it’s a movie only Strunk & White and Lynne Truss would love, but if you don’t like it, Eat Shoots and Leave.

If you’d prefer to watch a star-studded reworking of Dickens that is equally, er, unorthodox, you may enter now to win a FREE dvd ofAn American Carol, directed by AIRPLANE!’s David Zucker. Thiszany satire views the cautionary tale from the vantage of a moral majority or a heartless cabal (depending on your own political bent).

To win your copy of An American Carol, just explain what lesson you’ve learned from a/ny holiday haunt past, present or future — in 10,000 words or less, please — and post it on The Warren Report blog before Noon on Monday, December 29th, 2008. (For more about An American Carol, just read the official, studio-approved text below my sign-off.)

It’s that simple. 25 recipients will be selected by yours honestly in accordance with my festive spirit, ungodly sense of humor and troublesome love of wise men and women. (Insert your own favored deity/divine being or spirit animal here) bless us, everyone.

Cratchitly,
Warren

An American Carol

The American spirit is celebrated in the outrageous and totally irreverent comedy An American Carol from David Zucker, the master of questionable taste (Airplane!, The Naked Gun, Scary Movie 3 and Scary Movie 4).

In An American Carol a cynical, Anti-American Hollywood filmmaker sets out on a crusade to abolish the 4th of July holiday. He is visited by three spirits who take him on a hilarious journey in an attempt to show him the true meaning of America.

Directed by David Zucker and written by David Zucker & Lewis Friedman and Myrna Sokoloff. The film stars Kevin Farley, Kelsey Grammer, Leslie Nielsen, Trace Adkins, Robert Davi, Geoffrey Arend, Serdar Kalsin, Jon Voight, James Woods, Dennis Hopper and Chriss Anglin.
