I don't consider this a comedy

This movie is pretty good and I didn't watch it as a comedy and I don't think director wanted to make it a comedy. Yes, it has some positive moments, but that's not the point. I'm glad they don't show Hitler in a really negative way as most modern movies do that, but instead they show why people loved Hitler during his era. They show him in a positive way and that helps to understand why some people loved him and some still love him. Also it's good that they showed how neo-Nazis beat Hitler, because that shows that most neo-Nazis don't even follow Hitler and are just a parody of Nazis, because they didn't even recognize their own idol when he was standing in front of them (even many neo-Nazis themselves say that most people who call themselves Nazis are not really Nazis, but just a parody of Nazis). Also, this movie shows that it wouldn't be that hard to turn normal person into nazi, because as we see in the movie, at first some people liked Hitler just because they thought he was funny, but then they started supporting him because they started liking his ideas. Anyways, I think this movie is VERY realistic and it really shows what could happen if Hitler would return. And it ends at a very good point and the viewer knows that this is just the beginning and most likely Hitler will succeed again. And this movie clearly has some hidden meaning. If someone thinks that Hitler couldn't rise to power in modern society they are so wrong, and Hitler proves that in this movie when he says that he managed to rise to power because even people who were against him, deep inside their heart were just like him. Such a powerful moment!

I really recommend watching this movie if you want to understand Hitler and human nature better.

Also, IMDb summarizes this movie as "Adolf Hitler wakes up to find himself in the 21st century. From there he pursues a career as a standup comedian. " STANDUP COMEDIAN? Really? Who wrote that summary, this is really not what the movie is about!
