Melania, the movie isn't doing too well

Culled from Facebook comments:
“Abraham Lincoln saw it. He said it was the worst experience he’d ever had in a theater”
“I called the theater to find out what time the showing started. They said, ‘What time can you get here?’”

Regular attendees at the Kennedy Center speak out.

I really want to let more time pass and more facts come to light before commenting, especially on Melania the person. I am not exactly sure how much control, and therefore how much responsibility, she has on this.
My most positive impression of Melania is still her first inauguration gown I saw at the Smithsonian's collection of First Ladies' gowns. Someone with that caliber of artful aesthetic sense must have some redeeming substance.

A less harsh review of the movie, from a sympathetic reviewer.

Yea, I don't get the Obama comparison. The attacks on her were vicious and non-stop.
Melania has been largely left alone, probably because she is mostly absent in terms of doing much of anything that the public sees. This film is getting attention because a) it's apparently pretty bad and b) Bezos/Amazon paid a lot of money for it, which makes people speculate the reasoning behind that spend.
That said, I'm not a fan of the stuff that makes sexual references about her. I also never found the weekly cheerleaders pics that folks used to post next door to be much fun either, so maybe I'm just a stick in the mud.

All this hate for Melania is very reminiscent of the same for Michelle Obama. Utterly undeserved and cruel.
But the airplane walkout meme is funny.

Oh god, I am. You'd be leaving out so much material otherwise.
