A metacritic score of 1 (out of a hundred).

Happy days

 

[Papa Lazarou]

A review I quite like

As propaganda, United Passions is as subtle as an anvil to the temple. As drama, it’s not merely ham-fisted, but pork-shouldered, bacon-wristed, and sausage-elbowed.

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

It will probably finish up taking about $1,000,000,000 before the end of the run.

Tax write off? Or more dodgy payoffs, disguised as a film project?

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Surely no-one's surprised by this though?

Regardless, fun to watch it crash and burn...

 

[Papa Lazarou]

It will probably finish up taking about $1,000,000,000 before the end of the run.

Mainly in Russia, Qatar and much of Africa.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

So thats $17m out of FIFAs account and $609 back into Sepps. Sounds like money laundering, albeit a little inefficient

 

[Motogull]

I really like Tim Roth. Shame he's associated with this dog's egg.

 

[spring hall convert]

It's got cult classic written all over it. I can't see how it isn't hilarious.

 

[BadFish]

Can't wait for FIFA II - that should be much more interesting.

 

[SteveTheSeagull]

Yet the Fifa games sell like hotcakes.

When has any actor been reluctant to promote their films?

CNN sent interview requests to the representatives of Roth, Neil, Depardieu and the movie's director, Frederic Auburtin but none were willing to commit before publication.

[Shatner's Bassoon]

This has to be a real life Springtime for Hitler.

 

[AlbionPics&SouthCoastTwit]

This has to be a real life Springtime for Hitler.

Only Springtime for Hilter was a box office success and the whole idea of losing money on purpose flopped. This would be a reversal of fortunes from the film Springtime for Hitler if it was meant to be a financial failure.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I really like Tim Roth. Shame he's associated with this dog's egg.

This, lets hope it funded his next up sf coming better project
