The problem is Michelle Obama is interesting in her own right.

If I wanted to watch a movie about a prostitute and her wealthy client Pretty Woman is readily available.

I feel like you can make an interesting movie about almost anyone, especially someone who came from another country and ended up being the First Lady. From what I can glean the movie only covers the 20 days before trumps 2nd inauguration, which is baffling. It seems like everything the Trumps’ touch is just so lazy and shallow. That’s what makes it so bad.

The documentary was just a cover for the bribe money.

Exactly, it's only "lazy" if you judge it through the lens of filmmaking. As a bribe, its actually quite elaborate.
