Once I realized it was a comedy, I just relaxed and went with the flow. It was actually pretty funny and enjoyable. The more I watched, the more engrossed I got. I thought the dictator character was hilarious. It was good for an enjoyable evening. If you saw True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger, this is the same type of action comedy. I actually liked this one better. The only thing that put me off was the dopey first-person narrative at the beginning. I almost stopped watching before that was over. I'm very glad I didn't because the story just drew me in, the more I watched. Don't expect any Academy Award acting and relax.
