"The President Is Coming is a film that pushes the boundaries of conventional storytelling."
"A guaranteed good watch"
"Uncontrollably funny for the most part, the film works on the strength of its smart dialogue and sturdy performances from the ensemble cast"
"All actors, frankly, put up an excellent show, including the less familiar ones who shine with instinctive, spontaneous performances that catch you unaware and leave you cheering for more"
"The film works because it never takes itself too seriously; holding nothing and no one too sacred to make
a joke of."
"Don't miss this film or you'll regret it." |
