This story tells about many of the powerful political events we live in the world. That story began with a highly thoughtful African-American politician who could have a chance in a new presidential campaign in a new confrontation. The film casts a controversial look at the public servant, Mays Gilliam, on her way to fame among the people.
... I liked this premise in movies like Dave, or the Eddie Murphy movie The Distinguished Gentleman, where the unknown or the underdog becomes the candidate or even the president, but this is so poorly done.

Rock is a man who continues to perpetuate stereotypes for the price of "comedy" and continues making one terrible film after the other.
Not merely satisfied with stereotyping whites, Rock insists on taking shots at blacks, fat people, poor people and even spina bifida patients.
