It's two weeks before the president's re-election and he's far ahead in the polls. A sex scandal allegation with an underage "Firefly Girl" erupts threatening his lead. Spin doctor Conrad Brean (Robert De Niro) comes up with an idea to redirect the talk to Albania. Along with Winifred Ames (Anne Heche), he recruits Hollywood producer Stanley Motss (Dustin Hoffman) to manufacture a fake war.
This is a brilliant satire with just enough realism for the audience to question whether this is actual reality. De Niro and Hoffman are absolutely wonderful. The humor is biting. It hits both politics and Hollywood. The title literally infects the popular lexicon. It's a wonderfully funny satire.
