Pretty funny movie

Okay, Hoges is 80 now so those expecting him to be as funny in his heyday is expecting too much. That being said, this movie is still very funny because he plays the situations he's placed in well and, frankly, he's still got it in my opinion. Whoever wrote and directed this deserve praise too. Some probably don't like that the current politics is played for laughs but its hardly something that hasn't been done before, the random person the goofball stuffing up and being falsely accused, and becoming a social pariah. I laughed a lot so that's the main thing.

Trivia
This movie, as reported by 'The Daily Mail', ''...comes after a Tourism Australia's hilarious faux movie trailer aired during the US Super Bowl back in 2018. The big budget advert, which cost $36 million, took the form of a fake movie trailer for a new Dundee film called 'Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home' [2018].''

Goofs
While driving his pickup truck and first talking with his granddaughter on the phone, the seats of the truck show Raptor (a high-end Ford truck); when he turns a corner, he is shown in a normal Ford F150. After the phone call completes and he gets out of the truck and hands the keys to the valet, it's a Ford Raptor F150.
