Reception

Derek Elley of Film Business Asia gave the film a rating of three out of ten.

gollark: Exactly. Just reallocate funds to the president and also the osmarks.net foundation™.
gollark: It would only be about a quarter of average government budget under my proposal.
gollark: Have a "president-satisfying tax" of course!
gollark: This is also an incentive to run the economy better, as the only valuable metric for a country is how well the economy happens to be operating at the time, as it is not mostly random noise etc.
gollark: Just pay them 10% of GDP.
