I initially pictured this as just another in a long line of spoofs - Hot Shots, Airplane, Naked Gun, etc., and didn't think it'd be very good, but it has potential.
It's definitely going to be very politically incorrect. Robert Downey Jr even changes his accent in the movie to...well watch the end of the trailer and you'll see.
I expect he will catch hell for this, but it has potential to be funny.

I saw the trailer for this the other day and while I like Ben Stiller and relish watching Downey Jr playing a black guy, the movie just doesn’t seem like it’s going to be funny at all.
By that’s just my opinion.

He is an actor, isn’t he? Isn’t his job to play characters that he is not?
He’s not up there doing a George Kingfish Stevens or making a mockery of his character, by all reports.
So the PC crowd can go jam a lead pipe up their offramp.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Obama actually turned out to be an out of work white actor in dark makeup, nose putty and a wig?

the movie looks to be pretty funny -in a naked gun sort of way.

I will not go see this but I absolutely cannot wait to see Robert Downey, Jr in Iron Man this summer.
