When Jews parody Dickens…
An American Carol, David Zucker's broad blast at the American left and the creative offspring of a Republican Jewish Coalition shidduch between Zucker and co-writer Myrna Sokoloff, opened this weekend - and it's tanking.
It's more or less tied with, of all things, Bill Maher's Religulous, but that's deceptive - Maher's film is a documentary (they traditionally underperform) and opened in a third of the theaters.
The almost universally thumbs down "Carol" got from reviewers probably didn't help. Best (reviewer) line so far: "I laughed harder at Munich." I guess it's not a great sign when the reviews raise more laughs than the movie.

I saw them both. On the same night. American Carol was SO lame. Religulous was funny.
