John Shearer’s review:
God Bless America - Bobcat Goldthwait's newest film is one of the sharpest, meanest, and best satires of recent memory. When Frank (played by a revelatory Joel Murray) finds out he has a inoperable brain tumor, he decides to kill those who he finds "mean." And that means that spoiled reality stars or angry radio hosts have plenty to fear. He's joined by Roxy, a teenager who might just be more than a little crazy in her own zeal to take down some of these people. When a film is this harsh, you either get rubbed the wrong way or embrace it, and I thought it was fantastic!
