Honest Candidate

If you saw Liar, Liar, this is similar. Storyline is similar, but about a female politician.

One of the funniest movies I've seen this year. Interesting plot, characters are endearing, Ra Mi-Ran as a lead carries the movie splendidly. It's a light-heated fun that will not offend you, it doesn't want to make a statement, but it still has a message which is; all politicians lie. One difference between this movie and other movies tackling this premise is that this one succeeds in making it entertaining.

A funny satirical movie which is actually a remake of a 2014 Brazilian movie The Honest Candidate. This version is much better. There has been comparison to Liar Liar but that would be like comparing a Rolls Royce with a mini . . ..

Enjoy your meal with this. The story is just normal though..

Honest Candidate is sort of like an irreverent K-Drama with all of the aspects of a wildly unrealistic situation bringing maturity and moral growth for the main character. However, I just didn't find the main character that likable or the comedy that funny. Also as someone who does not speak Korean I found some aspects of it harder to follow than much more serious South Korean films I've seen. Maybe it's too "talky"? I don't know but it's a bad sign when a light-hearted comedy is more confusing than an award winning art film.

I almost felt like this flick was trying to be American, and in the worst possible way. Honest Candidate isn't terrible it is okay for a few laughs.
