“the fun’s not infectious and the guests are a nightmare, and two hours of Melania feels like pure, endless hell,” giving the movie one star.

    “a bad film made by bad people about bad people.”

    I don’t remember the last time I read something so brief and blunt but so accurate.

    “If you’re hoping Melania will have a ‘so bad it’s good’ energy, I’m afraid it does not. Melania is not Cats,” Smith concluded.

    It’s deemed so bad even that awful live action Cats movies is far superior? Holy shit!

    I look forward to the song on YouTube with lyrics comprised purely from bad review quotes. This is going to be the spiritual sequel to Rachel Ziegler’s Snow White disaster.

    “Melania moves through the action like a listless automaton, talking constantly but saying nothing, squired from Mar-a-Lago to Trump Tower to her final destination, the White House,”

    Wasn’t predicting she’d die there, but ok.

    Do you think she’ll end it herself? or will it be Trump. One of the staff? Orders, Revenge… Public service?

      If we consider what happened with Trump’s exwife, I’d guess he’d order a hit on Melania a couple days before her NDA expires, then bury her a couple days later on one of his own golf courses.

      We can only hope he doesn’t live that long.

    “…a gilded trash remake of Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest in which a button-eyed Cinderella points at gold baubles and designer dresses, cunningly distracting us while her husband and his cronies prepare to dismantle the Constitution and asset-strip the federal government."
