Basically, this will be hilarious once the problems this guy caused are being resolved.

This movie definitely portrays GWB as being more or less a man-child with far too many powerful connections, trying to gain the approval of a distant father figure while being manipulated by war-hungry bastards.

Also, someone turned the "Bushisms" knob up to 11 and broke it off.

This was by far the weirdest movie I've seen in a while. The press review has a good synopsis of the plot. Basically, failed actor turned drama teacher tries to save his department from budget cuts with the Worst Idea for a Play Ever. Hilarity ensues.

The heterogenous group of drama students is thrown together because every single other elective at the school had fallen to budget cuts as well, so there's plenty of tension. Especially when the teacher guy tries to go all "Dangerous Minds" on the class. However, the group allows the movie to touch on themes of racism, anti-intellectualism, and high school social stratification, and arguably makes the movie much richer than it could have been.

But don't worry about it getting intellectual - any movie with a musical number called "Raped in the Face" is gonna be mostly fluff. Weird, weird, funny fluff.

To be honest, I wasn't really expecting much from this movie. Mainly I wanted to see Robert Downey Jr. in blackface, and whether or not they could explain it thoroughly enough in the plot for it to not be totally offensive. Well, they did pretty well on that score.

However, they kept bringing back Ben Stiller in his (fictional) role as a retard, from a previous (fictional) movie his character had played. All that kind of wore thin after about the second instance, but they just kept at it.

Despite this, I did find myself laughing throughout the movie, so it wasn't a total loss. All in all, I'd say it's a good rental. But as the final Summer Blockbuster Movie (tm) of 2008, I was a little disappointed. The season seems to have gone out with an "eeeeeh."
