I seem to remember that at the time, that Amerika was produced as an "apology" to conservatives for producing The Day After with its "liberal" agenda. I read about it in Newsweek, a popular publication of the time. Just pointing out that there were different points of view in the media at the time.

Ok. I haven't laughed out loud at a comment in awhile. This one did it.
Driver was really, really good in this. He was funny and game and clearly committed to everything given to him; for example, I thought the funny cat thing was good only because of him.
I haven't seen this movie and a lot of it sounds horrible, but…
For me, what takes this episode to the next level of reality is Matt's speech at the end. I actually think it's (purposefully) mediocre in a very telling way…telling in the way that Noel highlights in this article. I think if I was at that funeral I'd react with "that's a nice speech" but not necessarily be inspired…
From reading the review, this feels like a D-, according to the AVClub standards, where F is for "must see train wrecks" This review just makes it sound like an especially lame SNL episode.
Second good article in two days. You're on a roll AV Club! (I mean, if I'm going to complain about the weak stuff, I should comment when it's a good article.)
This was a good little piece. Had a nice "old school" AV Club vibe to it and was cleverly written. There's hope for you yet, AV Club…assuming I stay away from "Great Job Internet" and "Newswire (now with no Sean O'Neal)"
Since O'Neil has moved on, Newswire has a lot more anger than funny. There was another piece on NBC.com.co this week that was similarly full of "scattershot snark."
Yeah, this article seemed a little like an unfunny screed from someone who was taking this way too personal.
Yep. And still today, at least Fox tries. Fails a lot, but tries.
Disappointing link - I was hoping for more a critique of the cinematography of this amazing, amazing film rather than a ham-handed, muddled political speech about neo-conservatives over some clips of Donald Trump being the jackass that he is.
