God Bless America had its world premiere on September 9, 2011, at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, and was released On Demand on April 6, 2012.
After being diagnosed with a brain tumor, Frank (Joel Murray) is about to commit suicide while watching TV. However, as he watches a reality TV show in which a spoiled teenager named Chloe (Maddie Hasson) throws a tantrum over receiving the "wrong car" for a birthday present (a Lexus IS sedan rather than a Cadillac Escalade), he decides to instead go on a killing spree and rid the world of rude and annoying people, particularly reality TV stars. In Frank's mind, he only wants to kill people that deserve to die.
While stalking Chloe in preparation to kill her, Frank is spotted and questioned by a teenage girl named Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr). Roxy witnesses Frank killing Chloe, and decides to join him after becoming fascinated with his mission who also shares his sense of rage and disenfranchisement.
Frank and Roxy target such people as rude people in movie theaters, a group similar to the Westboro Baptist Church, a person who takes up two parking spaces, a man who is angry on a TV show, the parents of a girl who is rich and not very nice and also the not very nice but rich girl and ultimately those at a TV show similar to American Idol.
