It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

View MoreFunny or Die presents a satirical rendition of Donald J. Trump's 1987 best selling business book, The Art of the Deal. The best part of this entire short was definitely Johnny Depp as Donald J. Trump i mean the guy totally killed it and the make up was pretty spot on cause he looked like the guy although sometimes the voice was a bit too much like Jack Sparrow and less like Trump. The cameos were totally fun and especially the one from Ron Howard at the beginning and the end of the film. If you don't take it completely serious this film will definitely give you a good time plus it's silly and it knows it. (7.0/10)
View MoreI know this was released several months before he actually won the election, but since Donald J. Trump is now the president elect of the United States, this short movie will probably start to get a lot of attention. It's less than an hour and it's a satirical look at Trump's book "The Art Of The Deal." It's narrated at the beginning and end by Ron Howard, who "explains" that it's a lost movie that Trump himself made and then discarded until it was found at a yard sale outside Phoenix. OK. So it's supposed to be satire. The problem is that it just wasn't very funny.Maybe it's just because of the unending coverage of a very uninspiring campaign, and now the unending coverage of the transition, but this material portraying Trump as a racist and sexist, etc. already seems tired. I don't care for Trump myself (wouldn't have voted for him if I had been able to vote) and I have no objection to poking fun at public figures - but this just wasn't very funny as far as I could see. "Tired" sums it up. It's the same stuff that's been being said about Trump ever since he jumped into the race a year and a half ago (although it seems so much longer.)Johnny Depp was all right as the Donald, although he didn't nail him as well as Alec Baldwin has done on Saturday Night Live, but beyond Depp this didn't have much going for it. Fanatical Trump haters will probably think it's classic. It actually put me to sleep toward the end. (2/10)
View MoreIt appears that several Hollywood folks do not love The Donald - big shock. So these folks decide to make a movie that ranges from poking a bit of fun at His Donaldness to outright attacking his character. Again, big shock. So view this knowing that it's a slam on Trump that's amusing and nothing more. I too think that Trump is a buffoon, and I get that this "movie" what whipped up in a real hurry, but a better made, more well thought out effort might have been... well, more entertaining. This movie will likely really please folks who are terrified of Trump, annoy his followers and leave the rest of us with a big "Meh... it was okay".
View MoreI am utterly shocked that so many A-list actors played in this...movie.I watch movies to get away from current events - not to be politically influenced. Once I held reverence for many of these actors - No more. I do not support anyone in the entertainment industry who would actively impugn any one individual and call it comedy. This is a poor attempt to attack a current political candidate and the real laugh I got was when I realized how horrible the movie actually is. The acting, the production, The script. Its all horrible. I would not waste my time. Even though the movie is free on Netflix, the time you spend watching it will be a complete and total waste.
