I'm a Republican and I give the filmmakers credit for creating a film from a Republican point of view, as there are so few. That accounts for the three stars I gave the film. However, this is just not a good piece of filmmaking. It's almost entirely one dinner table conversation; a "talking heads" piece that may have been better as a play. But honestly, it wouldn't even make such a good play, because it's very monotone and boring. It's too easy for the Republican characters to convince the Democrat characters that they are wrong. The film starts out with the characters saying that they don't want a repeat of a party they had 4 years prior, when they got into a big fight over politics and threw food. That earlier unseen dinner party would have made for a better film, because there is not enough *drama* here. The stakes are way too low.
This film won't convince any Democrats to change their mind because even if they get past the "MAGA movie" graphic in the beginning, they'll get bored too quickly and tune out. As a Republican, the film doesn't tell me anything I didn't already know, and it doesn't go over the arguments in an entertaining way.
