Audience Reviews

SkyRo P "FDR: American Badass" is a supernatural comedy film that takes a satirical approach to depicting President Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II. While some viewers may find the concept entertaining, others may feel that the film crosses the line in its portrayal of the revered historical figure. The movie presents FDR in a comedic light, portraying him in a way that some may consider disrespectful to his legacy as an American hero. The film's exaggerated and humorous take on Roosevelt's character may not sit well with those who hold him in high regard. For some viewers, "FDR: American Badass" may come across as distasteful and poorly executed, failing to do justice to the real-life accomplishments and struggles of the former president. The satirical nature of the film may not resonate with all audiences, leading to mixed reactions and potential backlash from those who feel that it misrepresents Roosevelt and his legacy. Ultimately, opinions on "FDR: American Badass" vary, with some finding it amusing and others deeming it disrespectful. Viewers are encouraged to approach the film with an open mind and consider their own perspectives on how historical figures are portrayed in popular culture. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Audience Member Renewed my faith in politics. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member If your heart doesn't pound with pure, abject American Pride watching our 32nd President wheel away from a massive explosion, then...well...you might not be a badass. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A lot of great historical aspects I hadn't known about before. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Plenty of LOL's from the most vulgar representation of Franklin Delano Roosevelt you'll find on film. Some sort of spoof on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, this one brings us wheelchair-bound FDR fighting polio virus-carrying Nazi and other Axis power werewolves with his machine gun, bazooka strapped Wheelchair-of-Death. FDR was hilarious, and the oddball story was fun. It got a bit stale near the end, but still provided plenty of laughs. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member pretty much what would happen if Matt/Trey and the MST3K got together and did as a side project Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
