A comedy with serious intentions, Man of the Year attempts to challenge the audience's notions of what is and isn't real when it comes to politics. Tom Dobbs (Robin Williams) is a popular political talk show host. As a lark, he runs for president and wins. The thing is, he's not any more unqualified than the other candidates, so his victory doesn't seem quite so outrageous. But when it turns out that the computer ballot firm responsible for tallying all the votes may have had a glitch--and that a recount would negate his win--mayhem ensues and the film segues from comedy, to drama, and back to comedy (sort of) again. Directed by Barry Levinson (Diner, Wag the Dog), the film doesn't take advantage of Williams' natural humor or charm. He at times appears to be chomping at the bit to unleash a comedic tirade or two, only to be held back by stiff lines. Williams only truly appears to be enjoying himself when trading lines with Laura Linney, who portrays the hapless do-gooder at the ballot firm who's being set up to appear unreliable. With some fine performances by a supporting cast that includes Jeff Goldblum, Lewis Black, and the inimitable Christopher Walken, Man of the Year occasionally hints at greatness. But at best, it's a lukewarm comedy with a diluted message. --Jae-Ha Kim

`Man of the Year' is essentially two different films, one is a comedy about a comedian who is surprisingly elected as our next U.S. President; the other is a drama about a woman who stumbles across a glitch in a balloting service that ultimately elects the wrong president. The two work well in moments, and yet restrict each other in moments. The end result is an entertaining film that doesn't quite reach its full potential.
The film tells the story of comedian Tom Dobbs (a comedian ... Read More

With Happy Madison pulling a ton of random movies that generally have the same characters in them, it's nice to have a comedy movie that isn't a bunch of slapstick humor. Robin Williams plays Tom Dobbs, a comedian who loves to make jokes about politics. Oddly enough, Tom Dobbs soon finds himself is the role of candidate for presidency largely due to his fans enjoying his comments about politics.
Tom Dobbs ends up winning the Presidential Election by using his radical ... Read More

I loved this movie for once Hollywood dared to show how is the real political system.
Your rich you can be president your poor forget it. To show a comedian running for presidency is good. This movie as a message to give and I heard it and I hope you have.
Robbin Williams is at is best. I hasn't be disapointed in fact I was entertained and although it is a comedy opened my eyes on the political system.

Robin Williams plays a populist television host who runs for president in the 2006 Barry Levinson film MAN OF THE YEAR. The actor's superb, often funny performance commands attention, carrying the film despite its plot devices too weak for the viewer to suspend disbelief.
Today's corporation-dominated media would make it difficult for a pro-working class host such as the MAN OF THE YEAR character Williams portrays to even get a shot on television. Moneyed interests sycophants dominate T.V. ... Read More

"Man of The Year" is typical Robin Williams. Not that that is a bad thing, mind you. I have been a fan of Williams since the "Mork and Mindy" days. He has proven himself a capable actor, from his comfortable comedic roles, to drama and the occasional suspense/thriller.
In "Man of The Year", he puts politics under the microscope for all to see, with tongue firmly in cheek. The film addresses the myriad faults of our political system. It also interjects the idea of honesty, and what a problem honesty ... Read More
