Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Movie (2016)

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Absolutely the worst movie.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's obvious why it only has 1/5 stars on Netflix, and didn't make the theaters. It's the only film on Netflix i've seen w/ such a low rating. It's not funny at-all and it's purpose is only to fool people in thinking it's real, the secondary reason is satire. I don't know how they're even allowed to claim that it stars Donald J. Trump himself when it's Johnny Depp acting & starring as him. IMDb claims under the list of list of cast and crew that it's "archival footage" of Donald J. Trump when it's not. I've read all of Donald J. Trump's books, trust me. This film shouldn't be taken at-all as factual. It sort of implies that at the very end of the credits but still. I watched it only to see what Trump-haters are up to.

A parody film based on (ghost written) Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal.Packed with celebrity cameos including the likes of Ron Howard, Henry Winkler and Christopher Lloyd to name a few this comedy directed by Jeremy Konner captures the essence of the time periods on a limited budget. The look is of an old VHS tape with Joe Randazzo's send up dialogue encapsulating political satire and irony. Not only is it hilarious, there's a serious message as child actors are replaced for there they race and people are forced to move in the name of development real estate.With a sub-plot of Trump wanting to buy the Taj Mahal Casino and Resort in Atlantic City unrecognisable Johnny Depp is outstanding, as he breaks up the megalomaniac shenanigans with power statements to camera echoing the books 11-step formula for business success.Johnny Depp as Donald Trump and A.L.F appears too, as a parody and a warning it perfectly covers both bases.

The concept of this movie is actually really fascinating to me. Personally, I really dislike Donald Trump, and a good satire of him would work extremely well! Also, it's interesting how this movie is a) an adaptation of his book "The Art of the Deal" b)is shot as mockumentary, and has a cool visual style, and c) Johnny Depp is playing Donald Trump!However, the movie itself is nowhere near as good as its concept!While I did laugh a couple of times here and there, it was, overall, very unfunny. Most of it is immaturely making fun of Trump instead of packing the movie with little details about Trump's life that would take actual research. I'm ALWAYS impressed when those behind the scenes actually do research on whoever/whatever they're satirizing.But, despite the movie not really being funny, I thought Johnny Depp did a pretty great job. He doesn't look or sound much like the real Donald Trump, but his performance is extremely unique and bizarre, and I really found myself enjoying!Also, I'd like to comment on the people angrily calling this movie "propaganda". I highly disagree with them. It's just a quick little comedy that pokes fun of Trump, it's no "Triumph of the Will"! Really, calm down!Overall, this movie made me agree with what Ron Howard said at the end of the credits.

The jokes are very intelligent and satirical but it takes some effort or knowledge to understand some of them. Much of the plot is based on Trump's real life. That's the key to satire, showing the absurdity of Trump's candidacy without exaggerating much at all and everything is 100% true.Trump's cult of personality will of course not be swayed but that's the thing about cults, their spread slows and eventually the cultists just go away into the forest with their own nuttery as people start to see just how insane they are.The jokes were not only smart but very offensive which I find to be exactly what I'm looking for in a comedy.
