God Bless America
Writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait skewers everything that's wrong with contemporary American culture in this firebomb satire about a disillusioned middle aged man who embarks on a violent crime spree with a cynical teenage girl. Fed up with his selfish neighbors, fired from his soul-sucking job, and depressed at the infrequency of visits with his bratty young daughter, 45 year old divorcee Frank (Joel Murray) prepares to end it all after being diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor. Just as Frank is about to pull the trigger, however, he has a sudden flash of inspiration: before he takes his own life, he'll do the world a big favor and permanently silence the loudmouthed teenage star of a popular reality television show. Meanwhile, high school misfit Roxy (Tara Lynn Barr) witnesses the killing firsthand, and convinces Frank to continue his bloody mission of cultural cleansing with her as his sidekick. In no time, Frank and Roxy are leaving a trail of bodies in their wake, and making headlines all across the country. But all good things must come to an end, and when their partnership hits an unexpected hitch, Frank draws up plans to go out with a bang.
