This film will most certainly do well simply because of the cast alone and that probably is the most clever thing about it. It reminds me of Movie 43. Only at least Movie 43 always knows what it was. This film takes itself very very seriously and by doing so, it makes it a terrible hard to watch experience.
Going in I decided not to read any reviews or even watch the trailers - so I was pretty excited. I made it about half an hour in before I started to realise it was complete and utter trash. The dialogue is arranged like certain lines are meant to be funny but I can honestly say nothing whatsoever was even remotely amusing about this film. It was actually painful. The social/political messages behind practically every scene would've been fine if they were conveyed in even a remotely clever and engaging way.
Up until they first went into the Oval Office I was intrigued at where the film was going to go. But starting with that scene the film completely lost me. Pathetic, waste of time and just a real shame that the immense talent couldn't have don't something - ANYTHING - else. Even though I can't recommend watching this film, maybe you should watch it just to see if you can get something out of it.
Maybe this film is simply just for Americans. Seeing familiar faces from other films/ in music seems to appeal to them. Also they can relate to the complete stupidity on show here and find it amusing (familiar). I'm stunned at just what the people involved in making this film wanted to say and how they thought they could keep a audience interested for 2 and a half hours.
