Barack and Michelle Obama executive produced this.


I don't know what to make of that.

reply

it most certainly makes it a "must see"

reply

So what? The Obama's invested in a motion picture. I don't see the problem.

reply

It would be like getting Chef Gordon Ramsey to produce a film. What do they know about movies?

reply

LEBRON JAMES IS A PRODUCER NOW TOO...PRODUCER DOESN'T HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN THE CREATIVE PROCESSES.

reply

LeBron isn't involved in the GOAT debate either.

reply

NO...HE ISN'T....IT'S A CLEAR CUT ANSWER...KOBE "BLACK MAMBA" BRYANT IS THE GOAT.

reply

He's a rapist, not a GOAT. MJ's the GOAT and it's not even debatable, and I'm not talking about Michael Jackson.

reply

NO...NO HE WAS NOT...MJ WAS AMAZING...AND I RESPECT PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE HIM TO BE THE GOAT...BUT THE TRUTH IS...MJ AND KOBE MATCHED EVENLY...AT THE SAME AGE...KOBE WOULD HAVE SMOKED MJ.

reply

It turns out it was Kobe who ended up getting smoked. #IsThatTooSoon

What does Hollywood know about making movie? - most of what comes out of Hollywood is garbage, sequels or remakes.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Barack and Michelle Obama are deemed the evil cabal !

reply

Extremely clunky messaging, bordering on propagandistic, and I like the Obamas. 🤷🏻‍♂️

reply

I'm going to pass anyway.

reply

Do you vet all the movies you watch based on who invests in a movie?

reply

Interesting fact. The social commentary messages that didn't have anything to do with the plot make more sense in light of that. I wonder if that helps to explain the relatively high IMDB rating for a forgettable movie like this.

I didn't care about about that aspect of the movie though; it was the bad, drawn out pacing that bored me while watching it.

reply

The trailer looked average to begin with.

reply

Barack and Michelle Obama are racist

reply

they didn't write it.

reply

Obama did have script input and supposedly "had a lot of notes" that went into shaping the script.

reply

they did cover just about every issue going on in society today.

reply

I know but I find it strange.

reply

In case you're unaware, the Obama's own a film production company now. It's called Higher Ground Productions. This is their fourth film.

Sorry for the delayed response. I haven't been getting all my notifications. I'm aware they have produced some movies, but I didn't think this would be one of them.
