The most offensive thing about this bad movie is how dull it is. If someone tells you this is a watchable film, it's either a bald-faced lie, sign of traumatic brain injury, a red flag to their conception of taste, or some combination of the three. It is honestly so plain to see that it's like listening to a child say they haven't eaten any cookies, who has chocolate and crumbs all over their mouth. It is incredibly hard to believe anyone's taste is this bad.

You know that thing that's the worst part of any movie, exposition? Well strap in, because the film is almost exclusively that. What isn't is either setting up the next bit of exposition, or title cards serving the same purpose.

Where did the budget go? While there are a few shots that show some kind of talent, it's balanced by things like dirt cheap effects (ie. The thought bubbles when Hunter has a concersation with a dog, the animated heart, etc). The fake news broadcasts shown honestly look like something straight from a Neil Breen film.

The directing decisions are poorly made. To demonstrate the thought and level of detail displayed, one early sequence shows Hunter with a rapidly beating heart, walking through a party where the thing that slows it down is smoking crack. Because cocaine is a downer, right? Later a phone call is made to a reporter who is typing on a typewriter, on his landline (no caller id), by someone he barely knows and says he'll text her later. It's a movie, whatever, but it's very lazy. Lazy enough to punctuate an obvious and lame joke with a boinging sound effect.

This movie thinks you're dumb. And if you're excited to spend $22 on this and rave about it later, it's right.

Just got done watching it on a not to be named Russian Facebook site, and found it fairly pedestrian. Not sure what they were going for here, a satire? A serious deep dive into political corruption? A third rate imitation of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with C level actors? It's script and direction is on the scale of a Lifetime movie and it makes Hunter strangely sympathetic, which I don't believe was the idea. Worst of all after the first 30 minutes it loses it entertainment value and gets wonky, and in the end boring. I could see someone on the Left doing the same film but with Trump as the lead character and probably just as tedious. So save your money and search it out for free unless you need red meat for your BDS, Biden Derangement Syndrome.

I'm not a fan of Trump and his influence on journalism worldwide, but I went into the movie completely blank. I actively tried to like it, but it was just too cringy. The acting was genuinely bad and the production was just subpar. Example: voices of people being outside where recorded in a badly insulated room.

Nevertheless, I did love Laurence Fox's portrayal of a drugged out Hunter Biden and his little dog scene was really funny. He's definitely a good actor. I read a review online praising this movie (found it on Google btw) saying that this role will catapult him into stardom. I don't think this will happen though; outing yourself as a conspiracy theorist generally doesn't do any career any good. I sincerely hope he just did it for the money, but I doubt it.

In fact, the low production value showed me no real professionals were touching this, which is actually a bit of a relief. Gina's Secret Service suit wasn't a fit, for crying out loud. She was wearing a tent! Are you telling me even the tailors are afraid of cancellation? I don't think so.

Still a couple of stars for Laurence Fox and his funny dog scene.

Politics aside this movie is a mess. Like what is it? Is it a documentary? If it is it's too over-laden with "comedy" that undercuts the message it's trying to convey. If it's just supposed to be a movie there's too many sections of just droning exposition for it to be entertaining. It'll do fine in it's echo chamber I noticed most of the positive reviews are from people 45 +, but it's not going to convince anybody else by being as compelling as watching comunity theater production of Frost/Nixon. Also nothing says America first than having the entire film being shot in Serbia and only using foreign labor because it's cheaper.

This project is absolutely tragic from beginning to end. The cast is a combination of washed up has-beens and actors that never really took off. Laurence Fox, for example, has long been a talentless ham who only got put into movies and shows because his family is some kind of UK acting royalty (a true "nepo baby"). Judging by his twitter feed, it appears he is now moving on to politics, and I'm sure he'll fail just as badly in that as he did in acting. Gina Carano shows once again that it was really only her athletic skills as a MMA fighter that got her movie & television roles - since this isn't an action movie, we are instead subjected to her wooden acting which is even worse than that of "Lozza" Fox. I'll give it 2 stars because it's competently filmed, but when it all comes down to it, it's just a crude attack by people who are angry that their little laptop story didn't have the same effect as "her e-mails". That's all it really is. Best to skip it and spend your time watching better movies.

My Son Hunter is an audacious, high-energy political satire that leans all the way into its controversial subject matter with style and swagger. Directed with a clear intent to provoke and entertain, the film blends real-life scandals with fictional flair, creating a surreal and sometimes hilarious narrative. Laurence Fox brings unpredictable charisma to the lead role, capturing both charm and chaos in equal measure. The dialogue is sharp, the tone unapologetically over-the-top, and the pacing rarely lets up. It's not your typical biopic-it's more like a fever dream wrapped in political theater. Whether you're watching out of curiosity or ideology, My Son Hunter delivers a ride that's anything but boring. It's messy, daring, and surprisingly compelling.

It's by the tools at Breitbart. That should tell you everything you need to know about it.

It's a dumb movie that is, in parts, unintentionally funny. If it wasn't backed by Breitbart, you might think that someone made a movie just to prove how smooth brained people actually are.

But, for today's world where a president can lie 30,000+ times and his blind followers still lap it up and even give money to his various funds that go directly into his pocket, what do you expect?

Laurence Fox is laughable, Carano has thrown away her already middling career on far right politics.

If you're dumb enough to believe people who hold press conferences at a landscaping company, this is the movie for you.

Excellent! It's like a Shakespearean Tragety. Davis did exceptional work.

We sort of wondered what all else could've been put in this if they'd have waited until Old Joe got railroaded out of office by Obama, Pelosy and Schumer.

Truly genius in the way they got everything in here. We laughed so hard at the tongue-in-cheek way they said all the quiet stuff out loud.

Of course, all the trolls were sent here to give bogus, unintelligent reviews so that people wouldn't watch it, but we already knew that and watched it in spite of them.

Just watch it and decide for yourself and go check reviews on Rotton Tomatoes. Not IMDB is compromised.

We loved it!

I swear reading through the reviews of this, you'd think that this movie was garbage. The acting was meh and the script was jumbled together but I think this was a hilarious.

"Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up" -Alan Moore The lie is that this is a satire..... Everything in this movie has been verified to be true but because we are so polarized as a nation, half the population eats whatever the mainstream media throws at them and thinks it's true when they are just as bad as politicians about lying. Journalistic Integrity is lost. Think for yourself, soak in multiple independent news sources and be informed before voting. Maybe vote for who wants government to control LESS and give people more freedoms because after all the government is supposed to be small and protect God given freedoms.

You can see from the plethora of 1 and 10 star reviews here how blindly polarized American society is today. If it doesn't conform to the biased news sources both left and right that demonize each other daily, then there is absolutely no moderate middle ground it seems. For those of you giving this 9-10 stars... give your head a shake. That's like putting it on par with The Godfather. For those giving it 1 star reviews, stop watching MSNBC for a second, chill out and try to enjoy the satire. Trump has been roasted constantly over the last 6 years to the point where it's supremely annoying. God forbid someone should do the same to the Bidens for once.

OK rant over, on to the merits and drawbacks of the movie. I will agree that it was overly political, but what can you expect coming from Breitbart. I found the monologues hand-feeding Hunter's misdeeds to the audience with Carrano and the other side characters annoying distractions that really draw you out of the main narrative and make it seem like more of a political hit job than a film. That's probably my biggest gripe, and there are way more creative ways to do this.

The script is laughable at times, but overall I think it pulls through as just around par. The production value was actually quite good, with some great cinematography. Probably one of the best parts of the film, but it's almost like putting lipstick on a pig due to the other failings.

Despite everything else, I really enjoyed Laurence Fox's performance and think he did an excellent job portraying the sleazy yet emotionally damaged addict. Seeing his acting in the trailer was what originally got me to watch this in the first place. The parts where he was recounting his brother Beau and their childhood were excellent. If the rest of the script was able to evoke emotion even close to that as opposed to those annoying asides, this could have been a much better movie. John James as Biden was pretty funny too. I'm glad they didn't throw low blows by making fun of the speech and memory problems.

Overall, I'd give it a 6.5. This is an average movie that is held up by Laurence Fox's great acting, momentary emotional parts of the script that really shine through, and solid production value.

I wrote a full review where I relayed the full saga of the Hunter Biden Laptop non-troversy and provided a litany of links to all of my sources, which I posted on Letterbox. Sadly IMDB doesn't allow you to code hyperlinks, or link anything at all, which is essential if you're going to review a movie as dedicated to spreading real life misinformation as My Son Hunter. So, if you are interested in getting all of the context that lead up to this movie, you can find it on Letterboxd. But here is part of my review of the movie itself:

"Yeah, it's a bad, try-hard movie. An incompetent biopic hit-piece that fails to meaningfully hit its target. Hunter Biden is a rich kid who likes to party and coasted through life on cushy jobs he wasn't qualified for because of nepotism? *shocked Pikachu face*

Right out the gate this movie tries so hard set itself apart from the typically incompetently produced conservative exploitating fare, desperate to showcase that this is meant for a serious non-psychotic audience with its sleek cameras and JJ Abrams lens flairs, very quick to show you that they're not going to be restrained by any of the prudish Christian morality other conservative propaganda films are, as within the first eight minutes we see inside the den of a strip club's changing room while the dancers casually walk around in scanty outfits and we're given two full minutes of a beautiful dancer who calls herself "Kitty" alluring Hunter Biden with a dance, whom we're given a close up of snorting cocaine and loadly dropping an F-bomb before enjoying the show (all the while they're careful not to display any nudity), all of which I'm sure is going to be a shocking display of moral decay to the audience that is actually going to watch this, everything set to scream "THIS AINT YOUR GRANDMA'S RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA MOVIE!" It's cute just how hard they're trying, when they don't even have the imagination to visualize what a coked up stripper orgy would look like outside of some blurry camera filters (and once again, when we're given the aftermath of this stripper orgy when everybody has passed out on the floor, hilariously, absolutely nobody passed out at this coked up stripper orgy is naked, because as hard as they want this to be a mature movie for real adults they can't push the content far enough to offend and alienate too much of their target audience). It throws absolutely everything at the wall that the hip and edgy popular political comedies in the vein of Adam McKay does these days for "humor": A badly animated graphic of an anatomically correct heart beating faster and faster as Hunter snorts more and more cocaine (think Scott Pilgrim), some thought bubbles popping above Hunter and a random dog's head like conversation (think Shithouse), random picture/video montages of Hunter's licentious partying scattered about (think The Big Short), characters turning and speaking directly to the camera because it's meta and the kids these days go wild for anything that pretends to be self-aware (think The Big Short), actors who don't play any characters dumping exposition about how illegal activities are conducted (think The Big Short), a fake-out "gotcha" fictionalized happy ending (think Vice and the Big Short), awkwardly shoving memed to death lines real people have said into dialogue (think Don't Look Up, and yes, practically everything is incompetently lifted from Adam McKay movies, with a little bit of The Laundromat splashed in), etc."

After that point, I go over some of the specific claims this movie makes and discuss them, which I wish I could link, but you'll find it on Letterboxd.

It makes the hooker the voice of reason, strangely.

It breaks the fourth wall to explain things to the viewer. It's awkward. A good work of art dramatizes, it doesn't lecture. It's like they couldn't decide whether this is a documentary with a narrator or a dramatization.

The pacing is too slow

The main actor is great, I just wish he'd been given a better script and direction.

Feels like a college project, with big text and cartoonish thought bubbles. The style has no continuity.

They made Biden unbelievably lucid.

Dialogue is clunky and at times laughable.

Gina Carano detracted from the movie. Her smugness is just annoying.

It's a waste of time.

The director famous for making Demon Sheep, which helped Carly Fiorina lose the California Senate race and a writer of biblical novels, come together to write a piece of hysterical propaganda. You can tell how much their fans lap it up as they rate it as though it's Godfather or Citizen Kane, which is a clue to their rose coloured spectacles.

Somehow the millionaires and billionaires who fund this cheese fest manage to distract attention from them being an "elite" and suggest those supporters should focus their anger to some vague amorphous group elsewhere.

It's fitting that it stars Laurence Fox, a man most famous for being a failure, particularly since he was one of the few candidates to lose their deposit in the election to become Mayor of London.

The facts, or the truth? Alternative facts - remember those? This may, or may not be the whole picture, but it's worth watching to see a great performance by Laurence Fox. He might be cancelled for his political views - but the fact is he is an amazing performer. Hunter Biden may be a morally corrupt individual, he certainly is no Saint, and he is painted here as an unpleasant narcissistic drug user. It's an interesting optic of a man in freefall, devoid of any guiding light. Fox brings this to life in spades. The reality is that Fox is nothing like Biden, and has entered the British political arena himself, while his acting career appears to be stalled. Gina Carano, herself no stranger to controvery with social media, breaks the 4th wall with great wit, and brings humour and physical presence to her part.

The movie features poorly-cropped clipart word balloons, a boioioing sound effect during a serious scene, & script so hollow King Kong could live inside it. There is, truly, nothing redeeming about this. Even if you leave aside its politics, it fails on every level to be entertaining, or even to really be a movie. I've seen higher-quality productions from people reviewing McDonald's on YouTube. Everyone involved ought to be deeply embarrassed-however, that requires a sense of shame, & having a sense of shame would have prevented them from working on this junk in the first place.

Quite the Catch-22. I'd give it zero stars if I could.

It looks and feels amateur and a bit cheap, but it is really entertaining and informative. I enjoyed watching this. Some of the acting is superb and fun, despite the low production cost. This laptop story is one of the most interesting stories of recent years and very revealing about politics and media today.

Minor issues: I would have liked more raw examples of the shady mainstream press. I also think the film would have benefitted from weaving in more of the hard evidence rather than just relying on narrativ. But these are minor issues. Overall, this is a courageous and fun movie for those who can stomach just how bad the times have become.

I'm not sure where you can watch My Son Hunter. I found it on a free streaming site. I watched most of it but had to do some fast forwarding. I assumed it would be bad, but it was duller than I thought it would be. I would be surprised if any of the positive reviews on imdb are from people who actually sat through the whole thing. It is somewhat interesting as a bizarre novelty, but aside from that it looks like it was made using cheap movie editing software. This is especially evident with the strange choice to use animation in some scenes, like the animated heart when Hunter is using cocaine, and the use of thought balloons when Hunter is thinking. It's also surprising how little the movie has to say considering its sole reason for existing is as political propaganda. There are some digs at BLM and some other dog whistle type stuff for the Breitbart crowd, but overall, it all just feels lazy.

A funny and often shocking look into the wild life of Hunter Biden.

In this world of shock culture some scenes are dramatic and over the top.

The underlying story of information suppression in a time when transparency was needed is shocking.

Lawrence fox puts in a great performance as Hunter.

Good side support and great camera work in the club scenes.

Blame orange man for any tiny indiscretion and hide any wrongs from other side.

As a neutral it's terrifying the power big media possess. Even the fact that this movie isn't on cinemas due to left wing bias is enough to turn it into a must watch classic of it's time.

Worth a watch whatever side of politics you are on.

I watched this movie, because besides the right wing slant, I was actually intrigued by the previews. The subject matter could've been compelling if the makers weren't more concerned with spreading their talking points, than making an entertaining movie. The movie is a complete piece of propaganda. It's so poorly written they need to have Gina Carano spoon feed the propaganda, as to not let the viewers draw their own conclusions. They treat the movie as if it was based on actual events, while in actuality less than 10% is corroborated. I loved Gina in The Mandalorian and Deadpool. But Breitbart are opportunists who takes advantage of and exploit military veterans, and talented people, when they're at their lowest. It seems they got their hands on Gina. This movie is beneath Gina Carano.

Poorly written, poorly directed, poorly acted. This movie does not have a storyline it's just garbled nonsense. The plot (I'm being generous to call it that) is just the embodiment of every conspiratorial and bad faith argument by the far right wing. Even going into it with an open mind, I was disappointed in the first scene. There is nothing entertaining or informative or thought provoking about this film. It is just nonsense. It's clearly made to profit off of the hate and ignorance of its target audience with no care for anyone that's not deep into that political ideology. Don't waste time or money on this unless you're who they were trying to market this garbage to.

No matter your political leanings this is just embarrassingly godawful. Incompetent, shabbily-streamed, boring, etc. Etc. Poor Laurence is a pale shell of the actor he was in Inspector Lewis and the rest are clearly in it for the money.

If you're really curious, don't waste your hard-earned money on the actual movie. Rather, spend it instead on a one month $5 buck Patreon subscription to podcast QAnon Anonymous's hysterically funny blow by blow of this atrocity, to be found under the title "Premium Episode 184: My Son Hunter." There's a a good sample on Soundcloud.

You might enjoy their other "movie night" adventures, but this was truly one of their best.
