Trying

This movie is really trying hard to be funny. And while it portrays many historical figures incorrectly (very absurdly of course and very loosely based on the real people), this isn't as bad as it sounds. It just isn't really good either. The actors try too, but unfortunately they fail.

In the end it all piles up to the (probable) messy script ... if it wasn't the script it must have been the director. But I guess the material was too silly from the get go. Of course if you let loose you might get a giggle out of the vast amount of jokes here ... but then again, are you willing to lower yourself that much? There are better movies to do that for ...
