man of the year
I tend to like Robin Williams‘ movies. They don’t all have high quality, nor are they always very good. But Robin Williams is a good actor, and a brilliant comedian. That mix often ends up with at least watchable movies.
In Man of the Year, he plays a politician comedian combo playing his cards to win the presidency. And with a little help of corruption, wonders can happen. Wonders seldom go unnoticed, and we get a bit complexity added to the otherwise pretty simple story.
Together with sidekicks Christopher Walken and Laura Linney, Robin does a good job holding the pieces together. And that is something that needs to be done. The story seems to be unable to decide whether to be a comedy, a drama or a thriller.
In the end, I remember smiling reasonable much. Smiling is good. Recommended movie.
