Despite a star-studded cast, director Adam McKay dribbles out an extended Saturday Night Live skit. Biting satire can't be this obvious and on-the-nose. In recent years, we have seen the lunacy of the Trump presidency, and the absurd denial of obvious simple science... So when it is all lampooned in such a routine way, it loses much of its impact. The film isn't terrible... merely cheap and simple.
