Benedict Arnold vs George Washington - America The Motion Picture “America: The Motion Picture” gives George Washington chainsaw arms. As far as historical rewrites go, that’s not nothing. If the cherry tree story was always fiction — not to mention scores of other anecdotes about historical figures that have morphed their way into conventional understanding about the Great Men of History — then why not tell a nonsensical version of 1776 that involves mechanized weapon limbs? “America: The Motion Picture” opens with the death of Abraham Lincoln (voiced by Will Forte), not at the hands of John Wilkes Booth but Benedict Arnold (Andy Samberg), who just happens to be a werewolf. (You probably already know if this is the kind of movie you want to see just from that sentence.) A witness to the violent beheading of the man who freed the slaves, George Washington (a perfect Channing Tatum, so welcome back in the world of comedy) vows to avenge the death of his Presidential BFF. To fight back against Arnold and the villainous King James (Simon Pegg, who gets my favorite line in the movie that I won't spoil here), Washington assembles his own team of historic Avengers that includes a rambunctious Sam Adams (a wonderful Jason Mantzoukas), a razor-sharp Thomas Edison (Olivia Munn), an awkward Paul Revere (Bobby Moynihan), a heroic Geronimo (Raoul Trujillo), and even a blacksmith voiced by the one and only Killer Mike (Run the Jewels can also be found effectively on the soundtrack). In this wildly tongue-in-cheek animated revisionist history, a chainsaw-wielding George Washington assembles a team of rabble rousers -- including beer-loving bro Sam Adams, famed scientist Thomas Edison, acclaimed horseman Paul Revere, and a very pissed off Geronimo -- to defeat Benedict Arnold and King James in the American Revolution. Who will win? No one knows, but you can be sure of one thing: these are not your father's Founding... uh, Fathers. Genre: Animation, Comedy Original Language: English Director: Matt Thompson Producer: David Callaham, Will Allegra, Peter Kiernan, Phil Lord, Chris Miller, Adam Reed, Eric Sims Writer: David Callaham Release Date (Streaming): Jun 30, 2021 Runtime: 1h 38m Production Co: Netflix, Floyd County Productions, Lord Miller, Free Association That’s about as close to making a salient point as this movie gets. For those watching who consider anything other than reverence of the Founders to be insufficient, this will not be their cup of Boston Lager. For others looking for an insightful takedown of the mythologizing of American history, there’s not much for them to find, either. “America: The Motion Picture” is a goofy mishmash of riffs on prominent historical figures, often only slightly more ambitious than that commercial where ol’ GW drives a Dodge Challenger with a Hemi engine. Most of the time, it’s knowingly stupid, which makes watching it 90 minutes of occasional fun and frequent indifference. #america #netflix
