Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and fantasy fans. If you loved Bugonia or Sorry to Bother You, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 22 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

A cynical anti-American Hollywood filmmaker sets out on a crusade to abolish the 4th of July holiday. He is visited by three spirits who take him on a hilarious journey in an attempt to show him the true meaning of America.
