Release Date:
Friday, August 1, 2008
Directed by: Joshua Michael Stern
The Skinny: The decision of the next president is left up to a lazy, blissfully ignorant Southerner (Bud Johnson played by Kevin Costner) with an annoyingly precocious daughter (Madeline Carroll). Attempts at hilarity ensue.
The Good: After realizing their hopes for the presidency lies with swaying the mind of one person, the candidates make a few hilarious TV spots pandering to Bud's muddled idealsDemocrat Donald Greenleaf (Dennis Hopper) vowing to chase Mexicans down at the border and Incumbent Republican President Andrew Boone (Kelsey Grammer) promising a gay "everything rainbow" administration.
The Bad: This movie crashes and burns faster than a Michael Dukakis campaign. Its attempt at commentary of American culture and politics misses several points, like having "everybody should vote" moral undertones and then leaving the presidency up to ONE IDIOT FROM NEW MEXICO. Plus, you get cameo appearances from all your favorite (read: tired bags of horse manure) liberal (Arianna Huffington, James Carville) and conservative (Tony Blankley, Tucker Carlson) idiots.
Huff and Puff and Blow Your English Down: The best part of the movie was watching the rest of the audience cringing and trying to decipher Huffington's Greek speak.
Theater, DVD, or TNT in Five Years? Wait for the TNT. No, really, I mean packing the forthcoming DVD up with TNT and blowing it to smithereens.
