This is a very good sleeper. Quaid does a spot on Bush, and Dafoe a good Cheney. I venture to guess this would play very well outside the U.S. It certainly spoofs the White House and American Idol. If you are not so uptight and can get past the targets of the humor and commentary, it is very good.

Even H Grant, when he did not put his comedy or his depressive look on his actor�s face, could vary his usual expression, making a good attend at acting...
One of the best comedy/ satire since a long time, coming from the USA.
Dafoe was Rove, not Cheney. - sjb 16:12:19 01/29/08 (0)
I liked this film... a lot. I was also impressed with the girl singer turned actress who played opposite Hugh Grant (can't remember her name right now).

I agree... and believe me, I certainly wasn't expecting any more from it than - musetap 14:57:17 01/29/08 (0)
to help possibly justify my HBO bill...

(in this current low spot of HBO programming)

It's a very entertaining film.
