One of those political comedies that appeals to political bugs like myself. For a low budget production, it actually had some fair acting (Bernie middle aged for example). Some scenes were ginned up but all seemed to be based on actual crazy that we know is Bernie... Yes he honeymooned in Moscow. Yes his commune days were numbered, yes he never really had a real job except government, yes he had his microphone hi-jacked.
Who will like this? Well you can tell by the other reviews who didn't like this. Don't go into this expecting gut wrenching laughs, but for political bugs the one line in the movie expresses how I describe it.... Truth is stranger than fiction. Like a good Babylon Bee satire, this movie describes the irony most political astute Americans feel with Bernie being in congress.
Other thoughts, movie feels rushed at times, the transition from Mayor to Congress to his run for President just needed more development. Some of the dialog (fictionally recreated) was a over the top, which dilutes the real life irony (basically making it seem unrealistic at times, though based on real life events).. It is a comedy first and foremost, but a humor only a few will appreciate.
