If you're in US, you can watch it on demand right now. iTunes, Xbox, PS3, Amazon, etc.

Easily best film of 2012 so far. All of our darkest thoughts about the state of our society and our wishes put on screen for catharsis.

Bobcat delivers once again! Great performances, well-rounded characterisation, satire, commentary, and pitch-black comedy. Network, Falling Down, and now God Bless America for this generation. Way darker than World's Greatest Dad, oh god some of the moments made my sides hurt.

Best dead baby joke in a movie.

I thought the response to their murders being predictable conspiracy martyr junk (godless liberals, obama death squad, terrorist sleeper cell) instead of the truth was genius.

My favorite moments:

Mental High Five?

I bet the Alamo Drafthouse got a kick out of the cinema scene XD

Russian Roulette balloon gun scene.

The JFK dream.

The Westboro Baptist shooting spree.

"Is that thing on?" Camera nods lol.

@AssInAss: AWESOME! I have tons of faith in Bobcat after World's Greatest Dad, but I still wanted to see what folks thought about this one. I think your half blacked-out post answered my questions.

To the downloads! ;)

It's a goddamned good movie, that's for sure. I have my reservations about the last quarter or so, but dammit is the rest still ballsy, impressive, and plain nasty fun. I hope people check it out, too!

Bobcat is becoming one of my favorite directors.  I loved Sleeping Dogs Lie and World's Greatest Dad.  Hell, I even thought Shakes the Clown was decent.  Can't wait to see this movie!

Yeah, this was pretty great. Definitely worth ordering on demand

also the dead baby bit was definitely caught me off guard with how shocking and hilarious it was

I concur. A fantastic movie. I've loved everything Bobcat has directed so far, and this was no exception.

Bobcat really is a great director, its a shame he doesn't get more press. I heard about this movie on Comedy Bang Bang and i am going to see it ASAP.

I want to see it. But is it too preachy?

Trailer 2: God Bless America

Bobcat Goldthwait's crazy life-in-these-United-States film gets a green-band trailer, so you can finally show it to your mom!

Trailer: God Bless America

Is writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait going super, super dark, or just wallowing in lame post-Idiocracy, facile social commentary? We'll find out together when God Bless America comes around.
