Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have already produced one Netflix animated movie this year, with The Mitchells vs. the Machines drawing widespread critical acclaim and dominating the most-watched list for weeks, and the duo are back just over two months later to bring audiences America: The Motion Picture, just in time for the Fourth of July weekend.
Obviously, it couldn’t be more different from The Mitchells vs. the Machines in almost every imaginable way. While the former is a family film that’s already a front runner for next year’s Best Animated Feature Academy Award, the latter is a gleefully inaccurate dramatization of how Channing Tatum‘s George Washington rose up against the English in anachronistic, foul-mouthed and incredibly bloody fashion.
If you take The Patriot, Archer, The Expendables, The Avengers, Team America and Star Wars, throw it into a blender and then dump it all over a team of talented comedians, then you’ve pretty much got what Netflix are offering. Naturally, the critical reactions have been more than a little mixed, but as you can see from the responses below, a lot of subscribers can’t get enough of America: The Motion Picture.
One and a half minutes in to America: The Motion Picture on Netflix and I exclaim out loud -to my sleeping dog, I guess – "What the fuck am I watching?!" while laughing at the absurdity of it all
Here's hoping the next hour and 34 are just as great
Are you kidding me

America: the motion picture on Netflix is hilarious AF. It's the way George Washington says John 3:16 after every sentence he considers as wise words. So stupid, I love it

Pfft I don't get the bad reviews. Netflix's 'America: The Motion Picture' is a delightfully silly 90 mins! Is it perfect? Nah. It very much struggles to balance its high octane satire, absurdity, and sincere sentimentality. But it's a fine laugh with a few cracking jokes… pic.twitter.com/0XMRjeYZyu

It’s going to take some effort to dislodge America: The Motion Picture as the wildest animated effort of 2021, and it could be the ideal viewing for the big national holiday once enough beers have been consumed and the danger of slipping into a food-related coma is a serious possibility. A Rotten Tomatoes score of 36% isn’t great, but it’s already managed to find a spot on the platform’s most-watched list after only premiering on Wednesday, so there’s evidently a huge number of people willing to check it out.
