Lighthearted, enjoyable comedy

I don't see how anyone could not like this film. A great mix of sharp satire and lighthearted comedy. Kevin Kline is superb in a dual role and the supporting cast is as good as it gets for comedy. I especially liked Ving Rhames as the secret service agent. The plot is intriguing and it plays out exceptionally well, and it's got ample doses of laugh-out-loud humour and loads of heart. The numerous cameos - both political and celebrity - are just some of the many touches that make this a great film. The clip of Oliver Stone lampooning himself on Larry King is gold. It was definitely deserving of its screenplay nod, something I was surprised it got, given its comedic nature. Fairly lighthearted, but extremely entertaining. |
