vote for Williams

Kh08 from bristol, 15th July, 2007

Saw this whilst in the states A great film very much in the vain of Wag the Dog meets primary Colours. It follows Williams as a type of Jerry Springer who as many americans find the poltical balance in America crap decides to run for president. The story follows his election campaign through and after the election. A great supporting cast sees this as a smart comedy with punch that has an odd familiarity to it with voting in Florida during Bush's first election. As ever Williams gives some great speeches for me these made the film.

More Boring Than Actual Politics

NativityInBlack from , 8th May, 2008

i love Chris Walken.....i mean this is a guy taht i LOVE, i LOVE him (quote from nick of time) and robin williams has shown himself to be a fine actor in various roles , theoretically i should have liked this film alot - but i didnt, it just felt slow and plodding, and the humor was never that funny and the it never really captured the imagination... while her performance was good Laura Linney was very unlikable in my opinion which destroyed the feeling your supposed to have towards her character..... not bad par say, just very dissapointing

SHOCKING... I found that I really...

....LIKED IT!!!... a LOT Wasn't expecting much, BUT found that it turned out to be a very good politicial thriller as well as a very good comedy/drama. Mr Williams delivers some brilliant speeches,(comic and poignant in turns). Laura Linney and Christopher Walken as ever are great supporting acts. The script is pacey and well observed and there is just enough sinister goings on to make a thriller credible. I thought I'd hired a 3-4 star filler for a dull midweek evening... and found I'd hired a 4.5 star movie that we all enjoyed. Diamond in the rough.

OK

A Customer from Wakefield, 18th November, 2009

Not as funny as others with Mr Williams in. Some good 'dad' jokes though.
