DVD Description
If you want a real political party, there’s only one man who’s wild and funny enough to take it all the way to the White House. He’s Chris Rock and he’s ready to roll! When Washington desperately needs a presidential candidate just weeks before the election, they need someone sure to lose. They pick Mays Gilliam (Chris Rock), an unknown local politician from a down-and-out neighbourhood, to be their puppet. But if Mays is going to run, he’s going to have fun. He’s bringing in his brother, Mitch (Bernie Mac), a hardcore bail bondsman, as his running mate and turning his campaign into party central. Now Gilliam’s gaining in the polls and on his way to making history.
Comedian Chris Rock writes, directs and stars in the hit comedy from Capitol Hill that proves an underdog can become top dog and that the real power in Washington is a lot of laughs.

The review is this, Average American black man Mays Gillian(Chris
Rock) is picked by a team of goverment officials to run for President. He is supposed to be the only other candidate besides
a white popular bigot who's cousin is Sharon Stone? Though
this may seem weird, he's supposed to lose so the other man
can win. Anyway, it turns out in to a Hilarious fun movie that
will have you laughing for hours. I pretty much Liked DOWN
TO EARTH, but this is much better. It is hilarious and focuses
on the issue on the first Black President ever to being a gangsta. Don't let anyone under 11 see this. I reccomend this
and Down to Earth.

I was a bit apprehensive when I sat down to watch this movie, thinking that it would be one of those movies which will disappoint in the end. And certainly, the storyline is very simple and somewhat nonsensical. But Chris Rock pulls it off.
Rock plays Mays Gilliam, a lowly black politician who is chosen to run in the Presidential campaign as a ploy to make the party lose deliberately. Gilliam, however, grows in the role as a Presidential candidate, and together with his running mate (Bernie Mac), pulls of the greatest election upset of all time.
It's all very predictable, but the movie is littered with several hilarious, spoof-like, moments, and it is in this environment where Rock and Mac excel.

I recently bought this DvD from Amazon. It was bought new and arrived on time. I found the film very funny and also intriguing insight into how politics works behind the scenes. Chris Rock is very funny in this film and really delivers from start to finish. The late Bernie Mac,just proves what a great talent was. (Excellent film)

This political comedy/satire was directed by, produced by, and co-written by Chris Rock. Quite frankly, while some of it was funny, it was funny-stupid, not funny-sharp or... Read more
