moviegoers, most of whom were older white women, liked what they saw on screen. “Melania” earned an “A” grade on CinemaScore and 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, a vast discrepancy from the 8% Rotten Tomatoes average it received from critics.

Nothing suspicious about that at all...

It's possible that the kind of people who would choose to watch this movie actually do like it.

I'll never understand people that jump through so many mental hoops to try to justify what are obviously lies.

Well then, since you've seen the movie yourself rather than baselessly speculating like the rest of us, what can you say about its appeal to its target audience?
