More sad than funny
There was something surreal about this film. Not sure what the writer was going for but there is such a big difference between the Clinton impersonator and Obama's.
Yes, this man does look a lot like the president and he is good enough to perform well. But, his two white guy "handlers" who seem kind of red neck and some of the audiences he is performing for (libertarians, who've become more blue dog Dems or teapartiers) is embarrassing. The fact that this man is doing this because he needs the money so bad, has a family he is trying to help is not funny. His private comments reveal what his motives are and he is smart enough and honest enough to talk about his feelings about welfare. And he worked to get off of it, which is what most who are on it do, even though many people, esp. conservatives don't know this. The most real moments are where he is talking about he won't "be disrespected"... but the set up of this such that this seems inevitable. The way it's played for the laughs and to the kinds of audiences, is somehow reminiscent of the old Amos and Andy....it made me angry..and I'm white. I like and respect our president...I'm not happy with some things, esp. what's happened with whistleblowers and our criminal "criminal justice system" winning the prize for most non-violent people in our prisons than Russia and China put together. But he has, in spite of the most extreme opposition ever from the teapartiers and Repubs together being the party of "no" and fighting him tooth and nail on every attempt he has made to push us further, made some progress.
