This film desperately wants to say something, but it does so very slowly and with all the cinematic grace and subtlety of writing it on a brick and throwing it at the audience. First create interesting, 3-dimensional, watchable characters, then put them in a believable, interesting situation, then worry about the thematic development.
None of which would matter if it was funny (which it's also trying to be) but it's not. It really isn't. If they'd gone for all-out comedy and cut the running time in half and dispensed with the tedious messaging, it might have been in with a chance.
Politics won't save a boring, unfunny film, not matter how interested you are in politics.
