What to Know

Critics Consensus

A darkly comic polemic on modern culture, God Bless America is uneven and somewhat this but the ideas behind this revenge fulfillment journey has primal appeal.

3.5/5
If you can take that premise, I think you'll go along with the film and it's really, in its very weird way, quite funny. Go to Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) 11/15/2012
1.5/5
Gory, unfunny satire that deserves a prize for the most strained provocation of the year. Go to Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times 08/03/2012
4/5
Murray and Barr make for winning platonic chemistry even when Frank suspects himself of impure thoughts. Goldthwait holds his nerve as the film shifts from ennui to malevolent gleefulness. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 10/17/2022
3.5/4
God Bless America cries out for a change in a funny, shocking, unflinching manner and probes the depths of what it means to be a black comedy. Go to Full Review Jordan M. Smith IONCINEMA.com 11/19/2020
For many of us, this garbage is getting old, and with God Bless America, Goldthwait has allowed us a cathartic outpouring of violence that offers a brief stopgap for our current sensory oppression. Go to Full Review Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus 03/31/2020
What fundamentally didn't work for me was that all of the wit, humorous rants, and social commentary felt like they were aimed squarely at pop culture. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s @Thiagostone Dec 5 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Nov 19 Doesn't need the violence or excessive foul language. Has some good points that is obscured with absurdity. Guess why they call it a Dark Comedy. See more Nick O May 23 This fun, homicidal revenge-ride makes me feel like maybe I’m not crazy in how disgusting and hateful most of society seems to me. Like maybe I’m not alone in the world. God Bless Bobcat Goldthwait! See more Apr 20 I think all of us have a bit in Frank, or Roxy, deep down inside of us. See more Mik F Mar 26 Everyone should watch this movie. Especially now. See more 10/19/2024 The writer and director are obviously not very good at movie business: you have to skip the first 20 minutes as the movie is interesting only after the first 20 minutes.
