The Oddest Movie Review Ever: Man of the Year

Recently I plumped into my bed, snug, comfortable and ready for stimulation. No, I was not preparing for flesh-on-flesh action but something that occurs much more frequently-the viewing of a movie. That movie was the newest Robin Williams flick to hit DVD, Man of the Year. For those who haven't seen the film let it be known that this is a review with a twist; be warned spoilers may inject themselves later on, however, that depends on how easily things are spoiled for you. Personally, I will gladly watch a movie if I know what is going to happen; a good movie is still a good movie regardless if you know the basic premise. Hell, someone could explain The Usual Suspects or Donnie Darko to a person, but one would be deprived of a great cinema experience if that person felt satisfied with just a summary rather than the entire audio and visual package. The reason for me saying that is because what I am about to do is give you a summary, a review and a little extra. But if for some reason you feel all of the following is good enough it is important that you remember this introduction and understand that it is not.

Man of the Year chronicles the rise from talk show comedian, Tom Dobbs (Robin Williams), to President elect of the United States. Dobbs is a comedian with a similar show to that of The Daily Show. In all actuality it is easy to see that this movie was surely inspired by The Daily Show, but more importantly by the current state of America. We have had a long run of horrible and incompetent Presidents, and I am sure there is a good amount of level-headed Americans who would rather have someone like Jon Stewart in office than many of the standard options. But in the year 2008 will the status quo finally be shoved into the proverbial trunk? There is a woman running as well as a non-white man with a chance and a few other random politicians who figured that after Bush anyone has a shot at the Oval office. Would a comedian be a contender in an election where the winner can't possibly be worse than the former head of state?

America, F*ck Yea!
