The basic premise, albeit not totally original, is good in theory but the execution in this case is very mediocre. There are some mild laughs, but unfortunately the main protagonist is neither charismatic nor likeable. Actually she is kind of gross. Since female politicians aren't very likeable in general, it probably would have been better if it was a man. But even that wouldn't have been that much of an improvement. The script is simply bad and superficial. It's all about this lady winning her stupid election, but you don't sympathize with her, since she just went from being a corrupt scumbag to being a corrupt scumbag who's unable to lie.
