Watch the funny trailer for 'An American Carol'

Who ever thought we would one day see a film that ridicules Michael Moore? Well, it's happening folks. From David Zucker, director of "Scary Movie 3" and producer of "Superhero Movie," comes "An American Carol," a comedy about an American filmmaker (known as Michael Malone) who's visited by three ghosts after he attempts to abolish the July 4 holiday.

The cast of the flick includes Kevin P. Farley, Kelsey Grammer, Trace Adkins, Leslie Nielsen, Chriss Anglin, Dennis Hopper, James Woods and Jon Voight. The first trailer for the film poppe up over at Yahoo! earlier today, and I have to admit I like what I've seen so far. The footage above is silly, sure, but it's also funny. "An Americal Carol" opens Oct. 3, 2008.
