I watched the movie and thought it was pretty solid. Basically it was prophetic in the way that Idiocracy was prophetic. The Mexican reporter who had an affair with the Senator (Beau Bridges) was told by the director to emulate Barbara Streisand's mannerisms I guess.
Note to Ben: Ben if you haven't already seen this movie, the actor (Robert Picardo) who played the holographic doctor from Star Trek Voyager is in it.
Thanks again for the solid reco Monet.
