Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: The first time Elle introduces the Snap Cup, she is holding the cup in her right hand and paper in her left. When it comes time to snap she makes a snapping motion with her left hand while still holding the paper and a snapping sound is heard. There is no way her fingers could actually make the snapping sound with the paper in the way.

Quotes:

Rep. Rudd: Snaps for Congresswoman Hauser!

Utter waste of time

I saw the first one on cable, I found it surprisingly fun and thought I would see the second one on a lazy saturday afternoon.

I felt sorry for the actors, not too much as I am sure their bank managers were much impressed, as however fine an actor, it would be impossible to make anything out of the dreadful material presented to them. The writers should be ashamed of themselves and the director seriously consider a new career path.

I admit I sat through the whole film, I kept thinking it had to improve but the final scenes were the worst, airheads take over Congress. I understood that the writers were trying to poke fun at politics taking itself too seriously but they fell flat on their faces to say the least.

I learnt a valuable lesson, read a few reviews and wait till these types of films are on cable.

I have been very disappointed with film releases this year, I am looking forward to LOTR3 but it seems that I must be in too old an age group for main stream films these days.
