what an utter disappointment . forget this abysmal film and get hold of the tv series instead . what on earth be they do make the american president relatively sane . all the politician should have be bumble buffoon ( peter cook be good a the british pm ) . it lack the biting satire of the original and go instead for low common denominator slapstick . negative if i be be generous . this be unfortunately yet another example of a remake which totally miss the point of the original and the difference with this one be that they be both write by the same people .
