American history is filtered through this sweary and violent animation led by Archer kingpin Matt Thompson and delivered in the same visual style, together with anachronistic modern references and the current TV-animation vogue for shouty rapid-fire dialogue. Whereas Archer had a wonderful knowing wit, America The Motion Picture is completely silly, only about a third of the jokes actually work and its tests viewer patience over its full-length running time. This is the kind of film that undemanding 12-year-old boys will find hilarious without having any idea why.
