SPOILERS:
I had to have been warned by the title of this piece of work,yet I was bored that night and there was nothing else on TV so I thought: Why Not? it can't be that bad? WRONG!
BRR,it still gives me the chills thinking back of it.Everything about this movie sucks:the acting,the story,everything!
First of all the acting:Fran Drescher is probably one of the most annoying people ever and not only because of that nagging voice.She just can't act! And they probably chose her for the role since she did nothing more in that terrible sitcom "The Nanny" and maybe cause she should be beautiful.(NOT!) Timothy Dalton then.Not a bad actor,yet in this movie he puts on an accent that makes no sense at all.It always freaks me out that those Hollywood movies use those over the top accents for Russians or Germans or whatever.It is quite insulting to the natives of those countries,if you ask me.
The story is even worse,cause there actually ain't any! Woo,an American chick goes to Slovetzia (!?!?!?) to brainwash a so called dictator and the entire country in the Western ways.Just like Bush does nowadays in Iraq (only Saddam was a real dictator). The tale offers no surprises at all and ends with the two lovebirds kissing on the street,how sweet (uch,uch).
Yet,the way that Ken Kwapis (a really legendary director) shows "us" the way that Eastern Europe lives is extremely narrow minded and very insulting,almost barbaric. Everybody in Slovetzia is an idiot yet the holy American girl saves the entire country with her capitalistic ways.No wonder that a lot of non-western people hate America,just look at this movie.By the way I don't hate America,I just hate the Bush-government!
The cliches in this movie were too much for me.The dictator(a bad Stalin look-a-like),the American girl who changes it all,the children who want to become like her. Every cliche of the McCarthy era are shown without any shame.The witch hunter would be proud!
For a close look at the egocentric and narrow minded look on the world by some Americans,watch this movie.
1/10 (Currently number 4 in my bottom top 10 list)
