Truth be told, then I wasn't really expecting much from this movie. I mean, look at the title, the concept and the plot. Was I surprised with what I saw, not, I can't honestly say that I was. I was mortified. This was unbelievably boring and anything but funny."FDR: American Badass!" tries to follow in the spoof footsteps of movies such as "The Naked Gun" and "Airplane!", however, it just failed on a monumental scale, and it was almost physically painful to witness.I will go as far as to say that the people hired for the various roles and characters were doing good enough jobs with what they had to work with - which wasn't much to begin with. And it was a losing uphill battle against a really horrible script and plot.For a comedy, then "FDR: American Badass!" was surprisingly devoid of anything that would even remotely get close to making you laugh. The jokes were bad and under the belt, and the humor found in the movie might not just be suitable for everyone. If you are easily offended, I would suggest viewer discretion here.This was also a losing uphill battle to just sit through the entire movie without losing interest in the screen, and I must admit that I gave up on this movie. It was just too much of a drag to get through. It took forever to get nowhere and spewing lots of pointless jokes and profanities at you while getting nowhere. As much as I enjoy comedy classics like "The Naked Gun" and "Airplane!", then "FDR: American Badass!" was like a really bad punch to the gut.I can't really recommend this movie, unless you are a hardcore fan of anyone on the cast list.

This movie is brilliant. The score is low on IMDb right now, but it will rise over the years. Let's label this a future cult classic. The cast is brilliant. The script is brilliant. It's over the top and into the wtf ever land. Sure it's playing off the alternate time line craze, but it's spoofing the living dookie out of gangsta mentality/American history/and Lincoln Vampire Hunter and it does it at a Naked Gun level of professionalism. I gave it a 9 because it made me laugh and laugh hard. It does it's job and does it beautifully. This is FDR versus the wicked werewolves of Germany, Italy, and Japan. He talks crap, he rolls in a pimped out super wheel chair and smokes super weed with the ghost of Lincoln. What more do you want? If you love the Chappelle Show, Naked Gun, I'm Gonna Get You Sucka or movies like that...Watch this NOW. If you like what Hollywood has to offer for comedy you'll probably miss the joke. Thug Life.

Well, first off, take a look at the cover art of the DVD. Its awesome isn't it?! lol You gotta go into these kinds of movies not expecting much...so that if it is decent, then you are happily surprised.There are tons of actors/actresses in it that have been in all sorts of movies I've seen over the years, and they seem to be loving their parts and really getting into the roles. I was laughing throughout the entire film and was left wanting more. I'll be showing it to all of my friends and family now.So, if you're up for a crazy funny film, then grab this, call your friends over, and have a blast :)

Alright so I saw this movie and it was absolutely ridiculous! As in crayz hilarious! FDR was sooooo nuts in this movie it was hilarious, just imagine Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, but Scary Movie style. FDR the Werewolf Hunter! Not to mention that had these great cut scenes with Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito as Werewolves! FDR is kickin werewolf ass in a supped up Wheelchair with silver bullet machinegun wheels and rocket launchers! What really made me think of Scary Movie was the very Slapstick and sexualized jokes that were in the whole film. It also didn't mind using jokes about black people in the 1930s and 40s or some marijuana in the white house. FDR even has a stoned dream of flying with Abe Lincoln! It's hilarious! What's also funny is that they make FDR use a lot of hip hop lingo and speak over the radio as if he was a DJ, "You're listenin to the Delan-O!" What made the film work was that it knew it was ghetto and tried to be, and that ghettoness was what made it soooo funny! I really enjoyed it and I think if people like the Scary Movie style films that should totally check this out, it was a great spoof knock-off!
