It depressed me to see that people like David Alan Grier were either hardcore Republican or desperate for work enough to be in this.

Grier is in talks to play the lead role in The Nation, a musical based on the rise of Louis Farrakhan. Grier reports, "It has always been a dream of mine to take the controversy filled life of Minister Farrakhan and incorporate song and intricate dance routines. I really feel this could be my career defining role"

Wow. 2,000 theaters. Take that, Michael Moore.

Maybe this is supposed to cancel out the W. movie.

Kevin Farley should play his brother if ever got a movie about his life.

It'd be a very nice tribute & Id be so stoked for that.

i posted on IMDB before, and I want to know your guys opinion....

will this movie actually be funny? Im a huge fan of Zucker, although lately I feel as if he's losing his touch. Plus idk if Kevin Farley on his own can be very funny and from the previews I didnt see any clever satire to tell you the truth.

idc you're a conservative or a liberal, I just want to know if this movie is actually funny....maybe someone saw an advanced screening or something

Such a poor use of Kevin Farley. I don't know what's worse, the fact this is pathetic attempt at republican satire or someone thought it was good idea for David Zucker to make another movie.

I don't think Kevin Farely's been in anything good. Especially when the highlight of his career is:

i found a folder from the company that produced the movie in a cab on Tuesday night. It must have been leftover from the Toronto Film Festival.

Read it once through, then burned it.

yahoo user reviews are liking this movie

it looks really dumb though

one person said "It's funny, It's really funny. The trailer doesn't do the movie justice."

Is it a joke that the quote is from David Zucker himself?

im not gonna go with reviews on RT on this one.

most film critics are democrats, which just happen to be the audience trying to bring this film down.


on sunday night i will let you know how it is.


and btw on rotten tomatoes, it is 75% on the user reviews.

Not much a of Zucker slap-style comedy fan, but Moore and his sheep are such easy targets that this has the possibility to be pretty funny and relevant........though I doubt it will be as "successful" at either as Michael Moore Hates America.

In all likelyhood this will fail at the theaters, and find a strong following in the at home market. But if a joke of a movie like W can find wide release, this one at least deserves a shot.

I can't believe that it's doing better than Epic Movie.

That said, once you get into the really, really low scores, the movies get better than the movies with mediocre scores.

It's hard for a Conservative to be satirical without either being hypocritical or having an even worse skeleton in their closet.

See Religulous to make use of your time instead.
