The latest casting includesMark Cubanas the president of the United States of America. I’m a fan of Cuban’s and have been following him online for many years, and the reality television seriesShark Tankhas certainly brought him into the mainstream....

There are a lot of laughs, an ambitious premise and I think a lot of people are going to like the movie....
