Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Rick Black Let's get this out front at the start: Ron "Opie" Howard, Depp, and the rest of the bunch involved in this 'Movie' are die-hard Leftist Liberals totally in the tank for the Commucrat Party (A.K.A. the American Communist Party, and F.K.A. the Democrat Party), and the only purpose for making a piece of rubbish like this is to denigrate the character of Donald Trump, whom we now know to be our VERY likely 45th President of the United States. The fact that Trumps book, "The Art of the DEAL", is continually atop the Best-Seller Lists, only enrages these self-loathing, Anti-American Communist-sympathizing, totally-out-of-touch-with-Mainstream-America Marxist Limousine Liberals no end! These buffoons would never in a million years turn their gun sights on someone faaaaaar more in need of exposure and examination...hint: She only lies when her lips are moving, can't stand without two 'aides' propping her up, and has an unexplained 'body count' around her and her slimy former Rapist-In-Chief husband ready to exceed FORTY DEATHS! See? THERE'S a wealth of material for them to go at! Fat Chance, huh? See you at the Trump Inaugural!

FilmBuff1994 Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Movie is a mediocre TV movie that has its ups and downs in terms of writing, despite a talented cast. Funny or Die certainly gathered an impressive creative team to parody the most controversial presidential candidate in American history. There are great cameos throughout, such as Patton Oswalt and Ron Howard as himself. The star of the show is Johnny Depp, taking a very interesting turn as Trump himself, he may not sound very much like him, but his mannerisms and dialogue is stellar, he brings the character to life in his own very unique way. It does get tiring after a while, twenty minutes it and the humour started to die down for me, it was very one note, fifty minutes was too much. The run time may have been a bit more bearable if they were not so inclined to make the movie look extremely low budget, purposely making the colour off putting, I got the joke but it took me out of the "plot" too much. While there are certainly funny moments, The Art of the Deal falls flat for me, if you enjoy making fun of Donald Trump you might as well check out Funny or Die as they take the joke way too far, other than that avoid it. A satirical adaptation of business tycoon Donald Trump's bestselling novel, as he teaches a young boy how to make it big in the industry. Best Performance: Johnny Depp

rockywaters Donald Trump is certainly someone that could be easily and successfully spoofed. This movie could have been hilarious. Instead, it's boring. Here are some of the scenes. ***Spoiler alert*** Trump telling his lawyer to pretend biting off a cock, in front of a boy. Trump taking a dump while constipated. Trump says f*ck several times, and gives the finger. Trump paying a homeless man to relieve himself inside of an apartment building. Trump picks up a gay lawyer in a bar. Trump insulting blacks and Mexicans. ****** What a shame. There were some big stars that appeared. Ron Howard was part of this mess. Couldn't he have called in some favors and gotten some decent writers to help out? Unfortunately, it seems to have been written by bitter, unfunny, Trump haters.

classicalsteve While Darrell Hammond on Saturday Night Live does a decent Donald Trump, Johnny Depp of "Pirates of the Caribbean" fame proves why he may be the best performer in Hollywood. In this relatively short satirical film, Depp delivers an absolute spot-on imitation of the business magnate-turned-television reality star-turned-republican presidential demigod. If this was a more serious film at feature length, you'd start thinking Academy Award! At 50 minutes, it's just about as long as I could take in a movie concerning the most arrogant man on the planet with delusions of Godhood, although Depp's performance is more than worth the price of admission.When I first found it on Netflix, I didn't know what to make of it. I began watching the featurette with lots of questions, the biggest being why had I not heard of it? The film begins with an explanatory intro by film director and former child/adolescent star Ron Howard. He explains the film was produced, written and starred Donald Trump in the late 1980's but was pre-empted by a Monday Night Football game in 1988, a lousy one at that. All copies were destroyed in a fire, according to Howard. Decades later, Howard was rummaging in a yard sale and he and another pack-rat found the only surviving copy among heaps of stuff. The other pack-rat was about the build of Melissa McCarthy, but luckily Howard won the day and has brought the film out for public consumption.The film begins like one of those TV movies of the week you used to see in the 1970's and 1980's. Just about every television cliché is present from the music, similar to "Dallas", "Knots Landing", and "Love American Style" to the glittering fonts. Every credit is "Donald Trump" from producer to actor to editor. The film begins with a kid stealing a copy of Donald Trump's "The Art of the Deal" and escaping into an office. Of course in the office is Donald Trump (Johnnie Depp). The film becomes a mish-mash of episodes through his book as Trump explains how he got to where he is through being a ruthless and heartless American businessman. The kid is a mesmerized one-person audience hearing Trump's "story", if story it can be called. Chapters include among other things how to win lawsuits and how to defraud tenants. A few Hollywood name talent also appear including Alfred Molina (da Vinci Code) and Henry Wrinkler (who used to play Fonzie with Ron Howard on Happy Days in the 1970's).While in some ways, "The Art of the Deal" is sort of like a long Saturday Night Live sketch, Depp's performance is superb. He's captured all of Trump's gestures and idiosyncrasies right down to fiddling with his hair. If a more serious film about the rise of Trump were ever produced, Depp would be the hands-on choice. A real interesting experiment in filmmaking, and if it weren't for the fact that this narcissist disguised as a human being is trying to become king of the world, he'd probably being suing Depp and the director Jeremy Konner and writer Joe Randazzo. Luckily, Trump is rather busy. Trying to become king of the world is a full-time job.
