Wordiezett So much average
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
roger-debacker I admit that I didn't watch the film to the end. I just couldn't. They lost me when they watched the election results and Eleanor draped her bra in front of her while his (son?) pooped in a jar. Is this the filmmakers understanding of humor? Up to that episode of the film, there was really not a thing I could have called funny (which was what the film is supposed to be, I think). The story is so unthinkable (FDR bitten by a Werewolf who turns out to have a swastika on his belly and carries Mein Kampf, Hitler's piece of prose, please, give me a brake). The only strong point of the film, if you would like to call it that, is the strong language used by the majority of the actors, but is rather quite misplaced and unnecessary.
bkoganbing After Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter another American president made his reputation defeating the great werewolf conspiracy to take over the world. I'll bet you didn't know that about Franklin D. Roosevelt also known as FDR: American Badass. With standards like these to live up to, no wonder future presidents have so much trouble.It all starts when Governor FDR has a brush with a werewolf who bit him on the leg. Quick medical attention saved his life, but he was given a case of polio which left his legs paralyzed and shriveled. Also a definite turnoff for wife Eleanor played by Lin Shaye.Barry Bostwick who plays FDR has the patrician accent, but a gutter sense of humor a lot like some of the low brow politicians who put him in the White House. After being diagnosed with polio he's relieved to hear his male member is still good for any kind of use he has in mind.This was no accident however that a werewolf was on the grounds of Hyde Park. The leaders of Germany, Italy, and Japan are all werewolves and they've formed an axis to take over the world. FDR has a personal interest in ridding the world of this menace.When war comes FDR takes the crusade to those werewolf powers and I do mean personally. Silver bullets have been issued to our troops on land and sea and air. In the end he gets the job done himself. A proactive war leader the way Lincoln was in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.Speaking of Lincoln, when FDR is in a moment of crisis the White House butler tells him about George Washington's secret stash of hash. And while tripping out Kevin Sorbo as Lincoln gives him a trip like Peter Pan gave the Darling kids and Bostwick's duty is clear.When I was young and growing with parents who lived through the Depression and World War II, FDR was one god like figure and you'd never see a film like this. Surviving people of the previous generation probably wouldn't appreciate this film and it's not the greatest comedy I've ever seen. Still a few laughs will be had.
yaktheripper 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.
Cletus Proctor 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 :)
