Product Description:
On a lark the host of a late-night political talk show decides to run for president. The thing is he never expected to win. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 11/27/2007 Starring: Robin Williams Laura Linney Run time: 105 minutes Rating: Pg13
Amazon.com:
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

Before purchasing MAN OF THE YEAR from amazon I already had a copy.The reason I made the additional purchase was to give as a gift to my mother,as I found the movie to be very entertaining It has the humor for which Robin Williams is known,with the added satyr towards politics and an outlook of what I agree to be our present state of government.I would recommend this movie to anyone regardless of their political views(it might even open a few eyeballs with its content)I hope others take the time ...

Tom Dobbs (Robin Williams) is a political comedian. Think Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert. Christopher Walken plays his manager. One night on his show, someone asks him why he doesn't run for President, and the ball starts rolling. At first, it's just a lark, a publicity stunt, but it becomes more real when he debates the regular candidates. And even more real when he wins.
Or is it? Laura Linney plays a woman who works for the company who devised the computer voting system, and she's ... Read More

The BASIC premise of this movie was interesting, and the story is mildly entertaining, but any high school student with programming experience could tell you that the reason behind the computer glitch is too lame to give any credibility. A college student with a couple of computer programming courses could design a more plausible excuse for a glitch.

`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
