I saw a trailer on TV and thought it wasn't a good idea.

Every dark cloud has a silver lining. Kim can really use this film to his advantage.

We, we being my writers cabal, figured out that all he needs to do is run a series of stories in the NK press about how NK invades the US, comes close to losing until Kim takes over, and then marches to victory!

Kim could also show his human side by telling everyone in NK how they need to get used to food shortages since NK has to help the defeated US get back on its' feet and will be sending aid to the US.

How will the NK's ever know the difference?

There is that, but if a Rodman speaks and the NK press refuses to print it does the Rodman really make a noise?

I don't know anything about this film, but the push back of the release date says one of two things....

It is a stinker and needs a lot of editing. It did poorly with test auds and is being recut.

Or..... It is a blockbuster of a hit and is being reserved for the big money Christmas release. Big films that are expected to do well with younger auds are often released when the kids are out of school so they can go see it over and over again with no pressure from school related tasks.

The Christmas release date suggests the latter. This thing must have done great with test auds so the theater owners were able to find slots to slip it in.

'Variety' says the film has been testing well, so it looks like they are holding it back for the big release date. There is only one other comedy scheduled for release then so it should have a big opening.
