Putting Politics aside, the movie is just horrible in every way, no sense at all, bad script, bad acting, bad jokes.
High budget actors doesn't make a great movie, sorry.
Just laugh nothing to take seriously. I don't get all the negative reviews it's a fun, silly movie.
This movie had funny parts. It's not near as bad as many in the other reviews claim. Alec Baldwin is, Alec Baldwin and I found Salma to be quite humorous. The title is not very fitting for this movie. Overall, I'm glad I watched it but I won't be in a hurry to rewatch it either. Do what you want with this. Also, I'd like to note, this is not a movie for those who are easily offended.
First of all I am a fan of both Alec Baldwin and Selma Hayek.I was expecting something hilarious because I watched them both on 30 Rock and was hoping that this would be something just as funny.
It wasn't.
The movie starts off and goes off the hinges in a very haphazard and convoluted way. The humor is so physical. There are no jokes. I still don't know why or how Frank is broke. You get no backstory or explanation, just two old people frothing and writhing on the ground.
I am super disappointed.

Was Fred Wolf drunk when he wrote this screenplay? The story's concept was good, but the writing was horrible. The written comedy was so stale and stupid, it flopped any potential this film had. A 5th grader could've written a better script - and made it funnier. And I'm sorry... I am a fan of Salma Hayek, but she was utterly annoying in this film. The rest of the all-star comedic cast were great, but clearly their potential was underwhelming from the lousy script. The directing was ok, although certain scenes jumped all over the place, were convoluted, or cut to soon before needed information was given. It's a shame, as this film had potential. It certainly isn't deserving of any 1 or 2's, but is nothing above a 7 either. It's an honest 5/10 from me.
