Man of the Year? Wasn't This Movie Out 4 Years Ago...

So, this Man of the Year movie staring Robin Williams has been heavy promoted for weeks. Here's my problem with it - isn't this basically the exact same movie as Head of State starring Chris Rock from like 4 yeas ago? I mean I think Chris wasn't technically a comedian but give me a break, the premise was basically exactly the same because whatever his profession, he was an undercover comedian. They are advertising Man of the Year like this is the most original thought for a script ever in life. I don't get it. Head of State was not a small independent movie that no one will remember, so it doesn't make sense that they would do such a similar movie so soon after.

Have movies gotten so bad that we are recycling ideas from the same decade? Cause that's just sad. They need to come up with something better than this if they want me to drop $10 at the movie theater when Netflix costs $18 for the entire month.
