Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The situations include political caricature, but disappointedly nothing much beyond marginal interest occurs. The comedy is only intermittently funny and the satire is mostly shallow and obvious.

If you're in a silly enough mood, you might have a good time.

rotten:
A satire on American ways of life, written and directed by Downey and misfiring on most cylinders.
