God Bless America 2011


     Frank is fired from his job of 11 years because of a harassment complaint from the receptionist.  She doesn’t feel safe in the workplace because he is nice to her, sent her flowers because she had a bad day and loaned her a book?  Soon after he learns from his doctor that he has an inoperable brain tumor.  What is left for him except suicide?  Before taking his life he decides to free the world from the loudmouthed teenage star of a reality television show.  Roxy goes to the same school, she watches this happen and teams up with Frank. 
     This could have been good but it slips into just being a shooting fest.  Supposed to also be a comedy but only rare bits of humor.  2 ½* (This movie is so-so)

105 min, Drama directed by Bobcat Goldthwait with Joel Murray, Tara Lynne Barr, Melinda Page Hamilton, Rich McDonald, Maddie Hasson, Larry Miller.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 ½*, imdb 7.3 out of 10, 66% critic 70% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
