* AbuseMistake: In several scenes, the audience is led to believe that someone is about to accuse Frank of mistreating Roxy. Disturbingly, nobody ever get this wrong idea, not only when this little girl is covered in blood and alone in a car at night with an old man who shares no family resemblance with her. When someone ''finally'' gets the idea that the girl might be abused, it's a creep who asks because he wants to join in.

* ACtivistFundamentalistAntics: Not only Westboro Baptist Church and the others featured, but also Frank himself.

* ThisLoserIsYou: Roxy, one of the characters that the viewer is meant to root for, [[spoiler:turns out to be just as petty and self-centered as the people she -- and, by extension, the audience -- hates]]. Even Frank calls her out on it.
** Not to mention Frank himself, a man who's lost his wife, fantasizes about killing his neighbors' baby and his co-workers, and was fired for stalking the receptionist -- and given that he looked up her home address to mail her flowers, her being creeped out was perfectly understandable.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The red-band trailer gives away [[spoiler:the climatic shootout on the ''American Superstarz'' stage. Seeing that, you already know that Frank and Roxy are going to reconcile after their breakup.]]

* LittleKidLover: Roxy mistakes Frank for a pedophile when she first sees him spying on Chloe.
-->'''Roxy:''' "Hey creepy. Isn't the whole schoolgirl thing a little played out?"

** Though with the O'Reilly one, Frank does admit to agreeing with some of his politics, strawman or not. [[MomentOfFunny Roxy doesn't like this.]]

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The red-band trailer gives away [[spoiler:Frank and Roxy's reconciliation, and the climatic shootout on the ''American Superstarz'' stage]].

** [[spoiler:Roxy's breakdown, her rant about how she's smarter than everybody else, and the revelation that she lied about her parents abusing her show that she's ultimately NotSoDifferent from Chloe.]]

'''''Film/GodBlessAmerica''''' is a 2012 {{black comedy}} written and directed by Goldthwait and starring Joel Murray (brother of {{Bill|Murray}}) and Tara Lynne Barr. The plot is basically ''FallingDown'', [[PlayedForLaughs played for very dark laughs]]. It follows Frank, a middle-aged schlub who has lost his wife and his job, [[ItGotWorse and worse]], has just found out that he has terminal brain cancer. Contemplating suicide, Frank's life is changed when he watches a ''MySuperSweetSixteen''-esque show in which a {{spoiled brat}} named Chloe throws a tantrum over getting the wrong [[CoolCar fancy luxury car]] for her birthday. While most people would probably find extra motivation to go through with it after watching such a scene, Frank instead sets out to make something of the time he has left, killing Chloe and declaring war on all the annoying {{jerkass}}es and vapid pop culture figures of America. Along the way, he meets Roxy, a teenage classmate of Chloe's who shares Frank's misanthropy, and joins him on his crusade.

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2011, and is due to be released on April 6, 2012. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul4CZrnEFxU Here's]] the [[NotSafeForWork red-band]] trailer, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdBJRfuHUPo here's]] the green-band version.

* GodwinsLaw: One of Frank and Roxy's victims is a GlennBeck clone who loves to invoke this, complete with an image of BarackObama's face photoshopped onto a Nazi.

* OutlawCouple: Frank and Roxy are a non-romantic, father/daughter version of this.

* AssholeVictim: TheMovie

* HypocriticalHumor: Many took Roxy's slamming of ''{{Juno}}'' and DiabloCody as this.
