CGiii Comment

A small, remote village prepares for a presidential visit...

Swamped with eccentrics - replete with an elderly tent-dwelling gay couple - and beautiful photography...this episodic anti-climax goes nowhere fast.

The level of daftness becomes mind-numbingly predictable and unbearably grating...

There is one out-loud-laugh - otherwise, it's a picturesque whimsical dud.
