Hollywood vs. America: Popular Culture and the War on Traditional Values is a 1992 book by conservative film critic Michael Medved.

Ames described the book's viewpoint as overly simplistic, and argued that it exhibited "virtually no awareness of the function of fantasy and vicarious experience… That audiences might have complex reasons for viewing behavior they do not wish to emulate or experience firsthand eludes Medved."

[3] Charles Oliver, reviewing the book for the libertarian monthly magazine, Reason, took issue with many of Medved's arguments.

Oliver also stated, "Medved never once considers the idea that maybe adultery is a powerful dramatic theme-powerful because we value marriage so much".

[2] Hollywood vs America was criticized in two articles by Brian Siano in the January 1993 issue of The Humanist magazine as being a case of Medved trying to exaggerate in order to make his point.
