Wonderfully offbeat film!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I know this was released several months before he actually won the election, but since Donald J. Trump is now the president elect of the United States, this short movie will probably start to get a lot of attention. It's less than an hour and it's a satirical look at Trump's book "The Art Of The Deal." It's narrated at the beginning and end by Ron Howard, who "explains" that it's a lost movie that Trump himself made and then discarded until it was found at a yard sale outside Phoenix. OK. So it's supposed to be satire. The problem is that it just wasn't very funny.Maybe it's just because of the unending coverage of a very uninspiring campaign, and now the unending coverage of the transition, but this material portraying Trump as a racist and sexist, etc. already seems tired. I don't care for Trump myself (wouldn't have voted for him if I had been able to vote) and I have no objection to poking fun at public figures - but this just wasn't very funny as far as I could see. "Tired" sums it up. It's the same stuff that's been being said about Trump ever since he jumped into the race a year and a half ago (although it seems so much longer.)Johnny Depp was all right as the Donald, although he didn't nail him as well as Alec Baldwin has done on Saturday Night Live, but beyond Depp this didn't have much going for it. Fanatical Trump haters will probably think it's classic. It actually put me to sleep toward the end. (2/10)

It appears that several Hollywood folks do not love The Donald - big shock. So these folks decide to make a movie that ranges from poking a bit of fun at His Donaldness to outright attacking his character. Again, big shock. So view this knowing that it's a slam on Trump that's amusing and nothing more. I too think that Trump is a buffoon, and I get that this "movie" what whipped up in a real hurry, but a better made, more well thought out effort might have been... well, more entertaining. This movie will likely really please folks who are terrified of Trump, annoy his followers and leave the rest of us with a big "Meh... it was okay".

A parody film based on (ghost written) Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal.Packed with celebrity cameos including the likes of Ron Howard, Henry Winkler and Christopher Lloyd to name a few this comedy directed by Jeremy Konner captures the essence of the time periods on a limited budget. The look is of an old VHS tape with Joe Randazzo's send up dialogue encapsulating political satire and irony. Not only is it hilarious, there's a serious message as child actors are replaced for there they race and people are forced to move in the name of development real estate.With a sub-plot of Trump wanting to buy the Taj Mahal Casino and Resort in Atlantic City unrecognisable Johnny Depp is outstanding, as he breaks up the megalomaniac shenanigans with power statements to camera echoing the books 11-step formula for business success.Johnny Depp as Donald Trump and A.L.F appears too, as a parody and a warning it perfectly covers both bases.

I don't know if this is a spoiler or not so I checked the spoiler box, but at any rate, going into it I knew nothing about it so was amazed and astounded at the end when I found (SPOILER) that Johnny Depp was playing Trunp; I kept wondering throughout who was doing such a great job.:)As to the film - it is cheesy, insulting, contains a lot of fabrications (I looked up Der Scutt and (SPOILER) found nothing that would suggest he had Nazi sympathies). It is also spot-on in capturing Trump and his attitudes; so much so that I was wondering how it could be so much in line with what Trump is saying in August, 2016 of his presidential campaign.Someone here said it is "fun" but not "funny." I can see that point - it is really fun to watch as it is amazingly over-the-top; I didn't get too many laughs out of it, but it definitely held my attention and I recommend it, but only for people who dislike Trump as others will be infuriated, not entertained nor enlightened. Also, please note, it is cheesy by design - I gave it an 8 not because it is a work of art but because it succeeds very well in what it is trying to do.
