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.
Trailer...
