i thought beyond the mandarin turnaround - which i enjoyed immensely - the movie was rough on "american politics" but not in a way that really damning/beyond surface level? the president's a dick, the vp is corrupt, and yet. that's as far as the commentary goes.
imho, they didn't even go that far. I didn't have any particular problems with the prez (also a lot of affection for him from his time as Jaye's dad on Wonderfalls) so the movie seemed to have a very clear 'yay america!' that wasn't helped by all the judo-christian/christmas stuff.
