I'm about mid-way in and I don't know if I like it or not. The only movie I can compare it to is Ed Wood. It feel like it's trying too hard.

I honestly had not heard of this existing so I checked Wikipedia for a plot synopsis and reception. It's about what I expected it to be.

Apparently Trump described it as a "defamatory, politically disgusting hatchet job" intended to harm his 2024 presidential campaign. Based on the timing of it's release (October 11th) and the plot synopsis I have to agree and I don't think actually watching it would change my mind.

The movie is better if you come in thinking it's a parody.

I would disagree with this take based on what I'm reading. Parody isn't as spiteful as this plot appears to be, this goes a step further and becomes outright propaganda against Trump.
 
Is the actual The Apprentice series out for streaming anywhere? My guess is that it and the celebrity apprentice were taken off because they make Trump sympathetic.
 
I have no desire to watch this movie.
I predict that it will end up winning a ton of awards, purely because orange man bad.
Like how the recent Reagan biopic (which I also have no interest in seeing) was universally shit on by critics, even though regular people seem to love it, purely because Reagan was orange man bad before Trump.
 
This was the most unintentionally pro-Trump movie ever made.

It’s clear they set out to make Trump look as bad as possible, and the fact that they released it before the elections only made their intentions more obvious. But consider this: they tried to portray Trump in the worst possible light—and still failed. They had to exaggerate and embellish the truth significantly. Even with all that, the worst version of Trump they could come up with in this movie is... just some asshole? Not a supervillain?

Sure, he’s portrayed as an asshole, but in the movie, he doesn’t do anything that other rich people haven’t done—or worse. In fact, I’m confident that other famous billionaires like Bill Gates, George Soros, Steve Jobs, and others have likely done far worse. Take Bobby Kotick, for example. He has done things even the movie version of Trump wouldn’t have dared.

In other words, the worst version of Trump they could create for a fictional portrayal is still a saint compared to how most politicians behave in real life. By political standards, Trump is practically a Boy Scout.

It feels like they included the rape scene simply because they knew they had nothing that bad on him and they needed some shock value to make you hate him. Don’t get me wrong—I’m not suggesting Trump is a saint. But this movie utterly failed to make him appear more evil than your average wealthy CEO, let alone someone like Hitler as they desperately try him to be.

Did not need to see a scene of Jeremy Strong bottoming. Gross ass Roy Cohn. Maria Balakova was giving Tammy Faye vibes appearance wise as Ivana.
