The conservative Youtube historian "the cynical historian" details the abundant errors of fact in the film, all of which lean the same way, which he attributes to 1960s media narratives. He, moreover, does not find it very funny. I disagree on the last count. As a conservative, he seems unlikely to downplay the historical inaccuracies. But if you watch it like Oliver Stone's JFK, as a movie rather than a mistaken account of history, it has plenty to offer. Note to the squeamish: it gets grisly, and the satire disappears, at the very end. The first five or ten minutes are a highlight, and will surely tell you if you want to keep going.
This is readily available as a transcript, but the video -- requiring a little deep internet digging -- is worth the effort of finding. Natalie plays four distinct characters, each well. The "satirical" comments section/scroll at the bottom of the screen is disgustingly representative of the genuine article, so more genteel viewers may want to look away.
