Somewhat spoiled by a few groan-inducing moments of self-indulgent, clueless, and Trump-like verbally-cruel references to real-life pop and political figures, overall this film is a fun couple of hours that also manages to leave you wondering what might happen if one of the dozens of current 2020 presidential candidates did ignore their handlers, consultants, and polling and talked (very) frankly with us, the voters. Would we be thrilled to discover that at least one politician is a real human we relate to and not a glossy, polished approximation of human, or would we be horrified, retreat, and continue to vote for the polished versions carefully groomed to appeal to us?
