Not as bad as some would have you think

OK, so there were no superheroes, just Michael Caine as a cranky old dictator and Katie Holmes as a stressed-out mom. It was a bit understated at times, but moved along at a nice, even pace and had some nice acting. The script seems to have been well thought out and there were plenty of (mostly) subtle laughs to be enjoyed. I definitely feel as though my time was well spent watching it.

If you're looking for car chases and explosions, you'll need to look elsewhere, but it's good for its genre.

I enjoyed it.

Disappointing

I saw the previews to this and thought it might actually be a cute movie... i was wrong. When I see Jason Biggs I think of the funny scenes in American pie, this movie had nothing funny. Katie Holmes was just not convincing and I found her character a bit disgusting. I can't believe Mr. Cane agreeded to do this film. In all it was a good movie to waste time to but just wouldn't recommend.

A fun film

This film tells the story of a dictator hiding in an American teenage girl's suburban home.

The story is quite far fetched, and I guess that is the charm of the film. Initially I thought even Michael Caine acted poorly, but then I realise he was just in character. It is quite a fun, and hilarious film that provides brain off entertainment.

I enjoyed it.

I think there is a special post-BS 2018 stage that some people have come to, that you may have to be in to enjoy this movie. That having been said, I enjoyed it. Was going in hoping for light fun B movie and was not disappointed. I saw they murdered this movie on tomatoes, which is silly, cause not terrible. Probably it's also notable on afterthought that it was not overly cliche anywhere I recall.

Maybe the first intro to dictator scene could have been done a tad better.

The two starring ladies were believable and fun, and Michael Cain did it just right as far as I'm concerned.

Not the blockbuster of the year or anything, but I laughed enough times for it to be worth it.

Its a shame

A comedy about a Dictator meeting his young female pen pal perhaps has the premise to be a fairly funny film, unfortunately this movie completely misses the mark. As much as I wanted to enjoy this film it simply is not funny and one has to wonder why Sir Michael Cane would find himself co-starring in such a poorly scripted and low budget film.

General Anton Vincent's (Sir Michael Caine's) fictional national motto is "Homeland or Death". This is a literal translation from Spanish "Patria o Muerte", which was (and is) Cuban national motto under Fidel Castro. The Cuban Communist regime, with its climate, tropical location, uniforms, and even Anton's appearance, is heavily referenced in this movie.

When Anton Vincent cooks dinner for Tatiana and her mother, he says the dish is "Mole Maria". Actually, there is no such a thing: "Mole Maria" is a popular Mexican trademark for a commercial mole paste.
