Well, today’s feature marks another genuine first for this
blog. Of all the weird and disheartening pre-ambles I’ve seen leading up to a
film, I’ve never really come across a film that actively had to convince that
it even existed. Seriously, this film comes across like a one-off joke that
Baldwin would make in-between Trump caricaturing, or worse yet an Asylum
rip-off of last year’s The Boss. It probably doesn’t help that, in the lead-up
to its release, I have only ever seen the teaser trailer for this film which
barely showed anything.
Between the dubious concept and the minimal
sketch-length trailer, I can’t be the only one who thought that this thing was
a bit suspect. (And yes, I know, Beauty And The Beast trailer thing; I saw this
a few days before that hit the news so, over here, it still feels off) Then
again, I had similarly negative thoughts with Dreamworks’ last film Trolls’
pre-amble and I ended up really liking that film. Maybe the same could happen
here?
