Looks interesting. I wonder if its a comedy piece, or if they will take it seriously? Sounds like a comedy by the description, but who knows!

It's from the director of Borat. Definitely a comedy.

Besides, there's enough things about the real man that can be made fun of (such as his demands from prison for more Cheetos).

I don't know whether to think of this movie as wildly inappropriate, or hilarious.

It's pretty obvious from the description that this is going to be satire. The question is, will it be "in-your-face" or more subtle?

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

I heard it's also inspired by the Charlie Chaplin film The Great Dictator.

Huh.

[up] I had actually guessed that from the title combined with the premise.

At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...

Janusz Kaminski is shooting this one? Strange choice, but I like it!
