I'll try not to give any spoilers beyond what real reviews of the movie give. The movie, based on a book, is about a group of young people who go to an ancient Myan ruins only to become trapped between villagers and a massive flesh-eating plant. It's pretty horrific, but not as bad as real life in bankAmerica.
How can this movie be about America? First, the title itself describes America. Second, the vines that attack everything represents the banking/credit card industry. Once they've got you, they are in you and you can't get rid of them. You could also think of the vines as the Republican party, false religion, conservatism, and the military industrial complex.
The pyramid upon which the vines grow is the FED which is the foundation for the vine-like flesh-eating credit card industry. Through the FED, the human-eating vines reach for the sky and do their dirty work.
Finally, and most sadly, the villagers are the elected Democrats who hear the screams but only serve as a barrier to escape. The villagers are more protectors of the vine/credit usury industry than reformers.
Oh, and early on, there's a BJ. So you know it represents America.
