An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since it was the last movie starring Gene Hackman, I thought I might as well check it out. Oh my God...  Eventually, it turned out to be even more underwhelming than I expected. For a while, I was hoping that Hackman would  at least make another movie because it would be otherwise a terrible way to finish such a brilliant career but, in 2008, he announced his retirement from acting. I mean, basically, it is one of these comedies with a really lame concept, so, right from the beginning, it was rather hopeless. In this case, it was even worse since this concept was also poorly developed. Finally, the last draw was to have Ray Romano to play the lead. Romano is basically one of these supposedly funny guys but I never understood what was so appealing about his gimmick. As usual, it shows that Hollywood still doesn’t know how to properly handle a political satire as the whole thing should have been much darker to become slightly more interesting. Anyway, to conclude, I think I have been actually rather generous with my rating here, it was a very weak comedy and I don’t think it is worth a look whatsoever.
