Pretty Much giving this a 3 star rating because of how many times normie olds made me watch it as I was growing up. It felt too fake, unfunny, and contradictory to anything resembling a real life. If you somehow haven't seen it, save yourself the time. This movie is so distributed through public consciousness that you've probably been subjected to just as many parodies, gags and jokes referencing this movie as the total run time of the film. The over use of CGI for everything from the presidents faces to ping pong balls is annoying too.  During the ping-pong matches, there was no ball; it was entirely CGI, animated to meet the actors' paddles. I haven't read it, it sounds like the book is even worse.
