1/10
Cheap anti-Reagan propaganda
27 August 2013
This movie is nothing , but a Hollywood propaganda made against president Ronald Reagan. It's not strange , since Reagan was right-wing and Hollywood almost always has been left-wing. Anyway , you shouldn't be able to enjoy this piece of s*** unless you're some left-wing fanatic . I guess Hollywood likes propaganda ("Avatar").

Ronald Reagan was one of the best , if not the best president of United States . Along with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II he destroyed communism. How ? Thanks to economy . He bankrupted the USRR thanks to the arms race. He knew that the United States will win the race . He didn't buy or invest money in army because he was some dictator or blind fanatic (as the movie tries to suggest) , but because he was a visionary who knew that victory will come with time.

Putting aside political beliefs , this movie is just terribly bad. It tries to be a black comedy , but there isn't a single good joke here . There is nice shot of Sigourney Weaver's long sexy legs . And the actor who plays the guy waiting impatiently for phone is good. It's sad to see Chevy Chase and Sigourney Weaver in this mess . Thankfully , the movie didn't destroyed their careers (It's REALLY so bad , believe me) . Weaver soon made "Ghostbusters " and "Aliens" , while Chase triumphed with "Fletch".

If you're looking for good anti-war comedy better watch "Dr. Strangelove" . If you're looking for good 80's anti-war comedy you should watch "Spies like us" with Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd . I give this 1/10.
