      To suck or not to suck, that is not the question

      The title of the movie starts with a message to the audience, this is not a movie that can get a clear answer to right or wrong. Rather, what he wants to convey is a spirit that one needs to take control of one's own life.
      He told his son that there are many ways to argue, to prove oneself right, or to prove the other wrong.
      Tell the audience how he lost his previous aura overnight and regained everything so easily.
      Even if he was kidnapped and put on a nicotine patch and almost...

      One is public relation crisis and the other is crisis management

      One is public relation crisis and the other is crisis management. The former is public relations crisis and the latter is crisis public relations.
      A movie is just these two words, encountering problems and solving problems. Life is nothing more than these two words, encounter problems and solve problems.
      First of all, I really like the tone of this movie. The beautiful and gold-worshiping America has an unobstructed sense of sight. Although the movie highlights a small rebellion...

      Where are the lobbyists?

      For the film itself, it is a traditional happy ending. It also sports some classic tactics, depicting the dark side of even the so-called "justice" legislators and victims. This also naturally reveals the essence of human beings, that is, everyone may fall, and everyone may have light and turn into darkness. The congressman kidnaps Nick in order to achieve his goal; the victim keeps his mouth shut in order to get a bribe. These are all things that actually exist in real life. In China, it is...

      good comedy movie

      I found this film a long time ago and downloaded it to my computer, but I haven’t had time to watch it or watch other movies, so I didn’t watch this movie until tonight. At the beginning of the movie, I saw a wonderful debate. As the plot of the film progresses, I keep laughing. It's not that I have a low laugh point. This year's Macau Storm 3 didn't make me laugh, so as a comedy film, this film is relatively successful in my opinion, of course it can't compare to it. Jim Carrey's is funnier,...

      A fun and clever movie, but not sharp enough. Playful and thoughtful. With a tongue that is not bad, you R just good at it. Small-budget films tend to tackle acute and pervasive problems and are often...

    Behind the scenes gags

    In the film where Nick walks into the building, a young girl in a blue jacket appears....
