Title: Written by a cartoonist
Product review: The concept is clever but the characters are one dimensional and, well, caricatures. Satire is important but anyone who'd even consider watching this is already too politically savvy to draw wisdom from observations like "in modern politics, the candidate's whole life is open to judgement".Furthermore, it was shot in VHS video which looks terrible and the acting is not great (actor who plays Tanner the exception).A reviewer on one site said he watched the whole thing in one sitting. If you are the type who can take in six hours of Altman's meandering camera and muddled dialogue, maybe you have a chance at enjoying this. Otherwise, just get Shortcuts and call it a day.
