It was Ok

I think that this movie was a good 1-timer. I mean it was funny, but it had more of a comedic trama feel that anything else. I am not bashing it, but it is not really my cup of tea. Robin Williams did an exellent job, and I love all his movies. I won't really be watching this over and over, but I will suggest you see it at least once, like any movie.

Prelude

great comedy that makes you think

If you're a fan of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and the Colbert Report, don't let this comedy pass you by. Robin Williams is hilarious, the jokes throughout are priceless, yet this comedy also has very good messages that apply to present day political mess, about how politicians only listen to oil and big business interests, ignoring important issues like health care and environment, and how potentially dangerous an electronic voting system that puts all trust into computer software can be. Great film overall, and the good outweighs the bad (as mentioned by laura, sloppy editing, and a fairly annoying plotline).

Rating : 8/10
