America: The Motion Picture is a 2021 American comedy film directed by Matt Thompson and written by Dave Callaham, (who both also produce). It stars Channing Tatum (also a producer), Jason Mantzoukas, Olivia Munn, Bobby Moynihan, Judy Greer, Will Forte, Raoul Max Trujillo, Killer Mike, Simon Pegg and Andy Samberg. It is an R-rated, animated parody of George Washington and his fight against the British. The film uses anachronism, ahistoricism, and Americentrism to create a comic effect. Dates, the roles of various historical figures, battles, notable inventions and technologies are changed, reinvented or outright created. Prominent events and figures from the American Revolutionary War period and American history through to the 20th century are moved into the film's 1776 setting.

Netflix released America: The Motion Picture in streaming on June 30, 2021.[3][4] It received generally negative reviews from film critics, who criticized it as being unfunny.[5]
