Surprise! The Melania movie is terrible and serves no purpose

The only lesson we've learned is that Hollywood still occasionally bankrolls men it already buried.

The Melania movie demonstrates two things: Jeff Bezos has fewer scruples than his Venice wedding already made clear, and Brett Ratner has not changed at all. Aside from that, Melania is as boring as everyone suspected.

Apparently created only because obscenely wealthy people needed a vehicle to bribe one another for consideration that benefits their highly dependent businesses on a friendly government, Melania the Movie exists as an embarrassing complication. Serving only to put a spotlight on their corruption, there is nothing to be learned from this film; no one is going to the theaters to see it.

In the end, the most enduring legacy of the Melania movie may be that it briefly jogged our collective memory that Brett Ratner is still alive, still working, and still contributing absolutely nothing worth revisiting.

The only lesson we’ve learned is that Hollywood still occasionally bankrolls men it already buried. We already knew Bezos loves throwing money away.
