POTUS isn't an easy target - nor the White House or conventions, without accreditation.
Particularly when SBC's face has often been on billboards from Times Square to Cleveland and Santa Barbara.
Hence a new front person (his 'daughter') had to be invented to give these self-important guys what they deserve.
The pandemic lockdown ironically enhanced the opportunities for subterfuge and filming.
And many are wondering will the movie affect the election. Trump is worried!
No Chaplin/Sellers type classic - just a good laugh (in parts) at American pomposity, the gotcha reactions and US unique methodology. |

Most movies are fantasies. This one is innovative and conceptional.

In what way is it innovative. Isn't it the same crap we saw in 2006. Pretend scenarios where people are pretending to be in real life scenarios, when it is all scripted. More low brow toilet humour..
I never seen anything with Sacha but clips I have seen seem to appeal to the Lowest Common Denominator of society. Tom Green comes to mind also. The 2000's was not a good decade for films or comedy. |

I found it disappointing. He just chose easy targets. It's like a British anti-monarchist only attacking Andrew. The entire American political establishment is deeply corrupt and cynical, so he should have been satirising all of them, not just right wingers. The Democrats spent three years trying to use the law courts to remove Trump, instead of trying to learn from their defeat, then they were reduced to digging up Biden as their new candidate. Christ! That's a political elite that is so entitled, so out of touch and so out of ideas, they should have been mocked just as mercilessly. |

Guiliani was pretending he was alone (in a hotel room) with Borat's 'daughter' - who wasn't in the White House, with zero clearance? |
