Writer-producer-director-star (alarm bells!) Chris Rock is Mays Gilliam, a patsy chosen to run for President. It's a ruse and he's meant to lose, but Rock's `charm' begins to swing the vote. He can even get posh ladies dancing to Nelly...
Less funny than it is feasible, this vanity project bombed in the US and UK. Not hard to see why: Rock's schtick irks and a running gag involving his girlfriend being dragged off by security is just cringeworthy. Only Bernie Mac's turn saves it from absolute ruin.
DVD Extras:
Rock's annoying commentary draws parallels to Woody Allen, Batman and "some French movie I saw" - and why include extended scenes when they're as flat as a one-egg pancake?
