I enjoyed the movie, it focused on making fun of people such as senators and lobbyists, who in their depravity made the evil Chinese businessmen look almost decent, but I don't know how many of my countrymen will enjoy it. Yet then on second thoughts that doesn't really matter, as the movie will not be released in the Chinese market anyway. The US movies targeting the Chinese market, such as Kungfu Panda, and 2012, all cast China in a positive light to please potential Chinese audiences.
