a comedian is elected President - or was he?

Robin Williams is "Man of the Year" in this 2006 flick also starring Christopher Walken, Laura Linney, and Jeff Goldblum. Williams plays comedian Tom Dobbs, a Jon Stewart type who decides to run for President. He gives great speeches, filled with humor, and ruins a televised debate against the incumbent, but wins a standing ovation. He wins.

Laura Linney plays Eleanor Greenish, who works for the company that developed the new, state of the fine art voting arrangement, and she realizes that at that place was a trouble with it, and that Dobbs did not win the ballot. Her superiors absolutely don't want it to come up out. Posing as someone from the FBI, she is able to approach the President-elect but gets caught upwards in his humor and his friendly entourage and doesn't tell him. Meanwhile, the company has gotten rid of her and is taking any steps it tin can to discredit her.

I knew nothing of this motion-picture show going in, so I didn't know that it was incorrectly marketed. I plant the film an easy mix of hilarious comedy, mostly Williams' routines, and some true drama. This is never easy to do, and frequently, a moving picture like this doesn't know what it wants to be. That's non the example with "Man of the Year," and I think Levinson's approach is successful. Mostly this is because Robin Williams can do anything - he'due south a riot, he'south warm, he tin can do existent drama, and here he does a wonderful task. Laura Linney gives a terrific performance as a woman who finds herself in terrible trouble equally she tries to right a wrong.

Very good film with a adept bandage.
