Free Lunch Express

Not only is the movie desperately trying to force a laugh with crude (yet boringly tame) sex jokes and gay jokes I've seen done better even in Adam Sandler flops, its caricature of Bernie is very clearly and openly antisemitic in a way no one could ever find actually funny. Even if you agree with the incredibly slanted politics of this movie, please don't subject yourself to it.

It was only a matter of time that Sanders would get ridiculed by the Hollywood - world elite-media cabal. We have seen any politician not aligned with the Bush-Clintons-Obamas-Biden agenda and their cohorts get trashed thru these bought and sold entertainment / news media organizations. Blatant disrespect. I can't wait for the day an independant producer exposes all these seemingly untouchable political criminals that are portrayed as good people thru the media that they influence and control.

As an attempted satire, this is definitely so bad it's good -- or perhaps a primo drinking game (but stick with light or American beer for health reasons). It is so incompetent, so dishonest, so transparently revealing of its biases, it provokes more guffawing and snorting than offense. The appearance of Hillary Clinton is a highlight. Since the Washington Post published 16 negative stories on Sanders in 16 hours (in 2016), this sort of thing seems like softball.

...but it just doesn't know when to stop milking the gags. I get the feeling that this one was made by people who hate Bernie Sanders too much to recognize anything that is actually funny about him. It seems to focus too hard on being negative. Shame. They could have had something here.

Plot

From the creators who watched Airplane too many times, comes the surreal story of Bernie Sanders. This farcical tale takes us from childhood to political icon with battles against the Clintons, drinks with AOC and weed with Ben and Jerry along the way.

Cast

Made by COVID denier Lenny Britton, a man without a successful credit to his name and starring such bottom of the barrel actors like Kevin Sorbo and Eric Roberts.

Verdict

I titled this review "What's wrong with you?" and I mean that two-fold. It's aimed at the creators and anyone who would support this production and find it even remotely entertaining.

For a start I don't understand how this is even legal? How were they not sued into oblivion? Even using a likeness of an individual is risky these days, so how do you do an entire biopic about someone? And one so bias, hateful, dishonest and absurd without legal ramifications?

The movie is unfunny, it's an 80 minute piece of propaganda and done in the worst possible taste. This is not entertainment.

Rants

The most frustrating thing here is the dishonesty, it's like I always say if a person/minority is so bad why do you have to lie to turn the people against them? Tell the truth, that'll do it right? Unless you know, they're not bad and you're the problem. I'm not a "Bernie Bro" by any means but this makes him out to be something he's clearly not and made by the same people who throw around words like woke, socialist, communist etc with no grasp on what they actually mean.

Breakdown

Unfunny In poor taste Just stupid on so many levels.
