Man of the Year??
No, seriously. What was Levinson thinking? More than being one large mishmash of the Best Standup Jokes of Robin "Verbal Diarrhoea" Williams, the movie has one of the worst screenplays of the year. If it was meant to be a riches-to-political-fame saga, it needed far more believable follow-through than it was endowed with. Highly disappointing fare. Especially from the makers of Wag The Dog, and particularly, since the realm of political satire has experienced more than its fair share of coming-of-age in the recent few years.
I find it fascinating that our generation prefers fake comedy news to the real deal. I'd pick Daily News over Fox News any day of the week, because that way I'm still in touch with current news, and I'm also stocked with smart quips for coffee-machine-conversation the next day.
In other news, our last governor was a closet gay, the current one doesn't wear a seatbelt. Wonder what crack-smoking hillbilly they're going to elect next.
