_Queens exploiting the third world like American bosses_ the movie.

Apparently, _Queenpins_ is based on a real life situation. Googled what happened to the real life people and only the fact that two (actually three) bored and lazy suburban American housewives wanted to get rich exploiting people in other countries (the American dream) is based on the real life story, basically everything else is almost entirely fictional. As often happens with comedies inspired by real life, his film forgoes historical accuracy for some cheap shit jokes instead of anything clever.

The script went all out on presenting two criminals as 'poor me' Robin Hood types. Am I supposed to be rooting for these women? Because most of the things they do throughout this film are awful. There was a buddy cop element to the investigation, it did not deliver any funny moments. I don't find potty humor funny. This part felt like it was written by Judd Apatow or Seth Rogen.

_Queenpins_ falls somewhere between not taking itself too seriously (it's not a dramatic recreation of actual events) and not being funny (someone needs to explain to Paramount what the word 'comedy' means). As a result, the movie ends up neither as funny nor as incisive. Instead, it’s a bland and generic mess.

The moral of the story is utter crap and I'm unsure which demographic this is aimed at, as the focus is so bad. The worst part is the last 5 minutes, presented as some female empowerment moment. Made me think this movie is made only for US “Progressives”. They are imperialists, they just want to invade for different reasons than that of neocons, who at least make their imperialist ambitions naked and clear to see. The 'woke' American liberal imperialists dress it up in a progressive veneer and mislead people. Go to poor countries to basically exploit their low costs of living, American ladies!! Go feminism. Be like your Queens - Rihanna is using child labor in India
or like Beyoncé using sweatshops in Sri Lanka, while preaching female empowerment. USA! USA!
