Goofs

Patton speaks dismissively of his portrayal in Patton ("That Patton was an actor!"). And yet throughout the film Kelsey Grammer speaks in the gruff, gravely voice that George C. Scott used in that picture. In fact, the real historical Patton spoke in a sharp, nasal, and slightly Southern accented voice.

The pew in St. Paul's chapel that the Washingtons used during President Washington's 15 months in New York is actually against the north wall. The movie puts it in the middle of the church.

A scene in the NYC subway station at Madison Square Garden (34th St.) shows a sign for the 2, 5 and "S" trains. The 5 and "S" do not stop there. It should read 1,2,3 trains.

A Note Regarding Spoilers

The following FAQ entries may contain spoilers. Only the biggest ones (if any) will be covered with spoiler tags. Spoiler tags have been used sparingly in order to make the page more readable.

Is this movie based on "A Christmas Carol"?

An American Carol uses the framework of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol (more properly: A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas) (1843). However, it is done so in political parody, changing the holiday to the Fourth of July (American Independence Day). The principal character of Ebenezer Scrooge becomes Michael Malone (Kevin P. Farley), a parody of American filmmaker and political activist Michael Moore. Jacob Marley is portrayed as former U.S. president John F. Kennedy (Chriss Anglin). The three ghosts become General George S. Patton (Kelsey Grammer), former U.S. president George Washington (Jon Voight), and the Angel of Death (Trace Adkins). The screenplay was written by Myrna Sokoloff and director and producer David Zucker.

How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?

For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie. The Parents Guide for An American Carol can be found here.
