If you took all the causes of problems in the world and boiled it down until there was barely anything left in the pot, this film is exactly what you would get. It's an absolutely hilarious reflection of racism, and egocentric politicians who don't give a crap about anyone but themselves. Well isn't that the heart of the problem in every country? And aren't we glad to be able to laugh at it once in a while? This is the laugh you're looking for.
