When Jews parody Dickens… http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/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. en-us rkampeas@jta.org Copyright 2008 2008-10-06T;17:55:59-05:00 Comment by natanostrich@yahoo.com I saw American Carol and thought it was very funny. So did the other people I was sitting with in the movie theater.  I would not spend one cent to see anything by Bill Maher. I saw American Carol and thought it was very funny.
