Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Movie

Moviecut—Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Movie

Great movie and well worth the 50 minutes it took to watch. People who gave this movie such low ratings are just jealous of how accurate this movie really is. Great movie and great adaptation of the truly terrible book that this is based off of. People don't realize with political party is the REAL satirical party, and it isn't the Democrats.

When you can't make comedy funny, call it satire. There, I fixed the title of this movie. Same old Propaganda preaching tripe. You'll get way more laughs out of Shaknado Skip.

They did a good job at making fun of him even if it's mean at times and if you can do your job properly, particularly when it comes to being FUNNY rather than getting off on CRUEL, then what's the harm? In fact at one point they have "The Donald" make the crack about only caring about what neighbors do to property values...and I wasn't sure if they were actually this inept when it comes to the working class or were genuinely trying to bash him.... The working class ALWAYS cares about what new neighbors do to property values! lol. I've heard that mentioned in my small working class town for 30+ years. Teachers, parents, cops, siblings I mean EVERYONE. Ultimately they meant it as an attack and are truly outside the fold of who Americans are and what it means to work yourself to the point of injury to have a life worth living and help the people you care about. Ron Howard endorsed a smear site on President Trump which was of course implications but posted everything as facts. Was accused of. Was thought to have. May have been involved with. Could have been responsible for. The most irresponsible rhetoric controlling the small minded and emotionally driven that I now consider it a dialect. But the movie was funny! So for all I boycott out of entertainment and social media which I have been doing for the last 10 years? I thought the movie was harmless and fun.

I don't know if this is a spoiler or not so I checked the spoiler box, but at any rate, going into it I knew nothing about it so was amazed and astounded at the end when I found (SPOILER) that Johnny Depp was playing Trunp; I kept wondering throughout who was doing such a great job.:) As to the film - it is cheesy, insulting, contains a lot of fabrications (I looked up Der Scutt and (SPOILER) found nothing that would suggest he had Nazi sympathies). It is also spot-on in capturing Trump and his attitudes; so much so that I was wondering how it could be so much in line with what Trump is saying in August, 2016 of his presidential campaign. Someone here said it is "fun" but not "funny." I can see that point - it is really fun to watch as it is amazingly over-the-top; I didn't get too many laughs out of it, but it definitely held my attention and I recommend it, but only for people who dislike Trump as others will be infuriated, not entertained nor enlightened. Also, please note, it is cheesy by design - I gave it an 8 not because it is a work of art but because it succeeds very well in what it is trying to do.

While not the most amazing satire or the best by any means, Depp manages to do a great job at lampooning the man who gives them so much material to work with. There are a few dull moments or moments that where the humor is targeted to people specifically in the political sphere, but the majority of it is a good time. There are some 'reviewers' here who, like the Parody Trump portrayed in the film, are claiming 'character assassination' and 'politics have no place in media' and other such idiotic nonsense, while at the same time demonizing their own political opponents. There are also various cameos from 80's pop culture that will be a nice treat for fans of that generation of film. So if you are looking for a fun little comedy about our President Elect and his boisterous and often obnoxious personality and don't have a political stick up your butt, then give it a watch. It's worth 50 minutes of your time.

It 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".
