Obamaland Part 1: Rise of the Trumpublikans (2017) User Reviews

Republican Wet Dream

[gregory-ignatius-156-870089 · 5/10 · 21 June 2021]

This is a farce; it's black (dark) comedy. Most of the effects are so in your face you know this is not real, but I can see how some would desperately want this to be true. From the opening to the end you're being punked. If watched with that in mind, enjoy.

So bad that at times, it's good.

Overall this movie was terrible, the only reason I gave it two stars is that, sometimes the editing or the plot would be so ludicrous that I found it hilarious. All in all, it's good for killing time on a Sunday night, but not much else.

Wanted to like this...

I wanted to like this movie but it was written so poorly, which is what made it so hard to watch (Even for a ridiculous comedy).

Sophomoric Humor

[yargyenrac · 2/10 · 3 December 2020]

Juvenile and puerile. A comedy that often includes toilet humor, and gags that appeal to the immature. Were the "actors" asked to bring all their own props and costumes? Production values were so low that it was more like a basement film. A few decent performances were ruined by a complete lack of sync with the soundtrack. Did they record voices first, and then try to match them to the film? Poorly written. Was there even a director? I want my time back.

Emblematic of the rights juvenile delinquency.

The first sex scene was at 6:25 and this is basically all you need to know about this piece of trash.

Hilarious

A wry, pungent and topical satire! I would love to stop reviewing this movie now, but this program keeps on telling me that my review is too short.

Impossible to take seriously

[arglebargle-47893 · 8/10 · 21 September 2019]

I mean this in a good way. It's packed with politics and yet, somehow, manages to tweak everyone evenly. It's loaded with enough sight gags and other film spoofs that if it actually offends your political sensibilities, then you probably need either more introspection... less.

Don't take it seriously

[vamorgan-85026 · 10/10 · 2 July 2020]

And you won't be disappointed. But you'll most definitely be offended.

An Idiocracy flip of Orwellian proportions

[wingthwong · 10/10 · 30 September 2020]

You can hate Trump, you can hate Obama, but no matter, this closely parallels the stupidity going on in every major border state metropolitan area. As the middle America is in direct opposition of the Obamalands, we see the absurdities that keep the far left and the far right embroiled in this constant fight for more division and further segregation. There is no middle ground. Only a few will stand to try to end this absurdity. Watch this for fun. Watch this with caution. Watch it however you like. Just know this whole Democrat/Republican construct those in charge want you to believe with the country split 50/50 is an illusion to keep you under control. Let this movie be a glimpse into the hate, greed, and fear that those in charge want to believe. But, remember, all the while, this is a parody. PARALLEL+COMEDY=PARODY So sit back, have fun, and remember, a future like this could be a very scary possibility.

America!

[snootsncoots · 9/10 · 21 January 2021]

Amusing satire of our political landscape, which takes shots at both sides. People on the Left will probably be offended though, because it's old style comedy, not mean comedy that only belittles the Right, and the Left has a hard time laughing at themselves nowadays. Obama was a goldmine of comedy, but of course SNL and late shows never touched it.

It's done very well for a low budget production. The actors play the parts without slapstick or tongue in cheek, and make the characters as real as possible for a satire. I enjoyed it, and appreciated seeing something that was more American than Right or Left.
