Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot - in which Tina Fey does real acting, portraying a woman who did real reporting, and Alfred Molina does some real dancing. Okay, so, Tina Fey is this boring brunette who lives and works in NYC in cable news in 2003, and she has an epiphany on a treadmill, which I was assured by Liz Lemon, was for zipping up dresses while alone, and moves to Afghanistan to be a war reporter. She was a NY 7, but in Kabul, she is a 9.5. Margot Robbie is a 13. So, she learns how hard it is to operate overseas, and does some good reporting, and gets along with the military, even Colonel or something Billy Bob Thorton. She lands this interview with a minister of defense or state or something, and it is Alfred Molina with a great, big, bushy beard! He is very into her, she tries to stick to her questions. Oh, Tina has this professional and sexy translator who has a secret crush on her, but he doesn't approve of all of her dangerous choices, so he leaves in a very gentle manner, having recently gotten married to a nice Afghani woman. So, the compound all of the reporters live at is basically like a co-ed frat house, and there are rave-like parties with tons of drugs every single night. Initially Tina has a boyfriend back home, but she keeps staying in Kabul instead of going home for Xmas, so that doesn't last. They refer to their behavior as the "Ka-bubble," implying that they won't be required to take their STD's or heroin addictions back home with them. Movie has a lot of layers, the New Bilbo Baggins shows up periodically, and is kind of a dick, but apparently really good in bed. So, when dude gets kidnapped, for the second time, Tina Fey goes to her Minister friend to get him back. He tries to blackmail her into sex, but she flips it and blackmails him back with a security camera footage of him dancing at a reporter compound rave. Ha! English guy gets free, and chooses to stay in the war zone again. Margot Robbie does some stupid stuff to get a story, too dangerous, and pays for it... with her life! The war never ends, (not really) so the movie just kind of ends when Tina Fey comes back home to work for a nice, no-nonsense Black lady.
