As long as it was just about a woman getting hit in the head with a nail, it was quite funny. It's a shame that it only lasts about twenty minutes, and the movie has another hour and a quarter. Once politics comes into play, it starts to become horribly boring, and at times you feel like smashing the TV straight away. Yes, politics is crap, but this movie turns out to be one too.
