Production

In March 2017, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller announced an R-rated animated Netflix original film called America: The Motion Picture alongside Will Allegra, Matt Thompson, Adam Reed, Channing Tatum, Reid Carolin and Peter Kiernan from a screenplay by David Callaham and directed by Thompson.[4][5]

Critical reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 36% of 28 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.2/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "America: The Motion Picture is definitely outrageous and possibly patriotic—problem is, it's also not very funny."[6] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 35 out of 100 based on 12 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[7]
