    Cool movie. The idea for it was great and Robin Williams was just terrific. Even though, I think that the movie's transition from being comedic to suddenly serious was very abrupt. I feel that the director should've put more effort into making the transition much smoother.

    Not a comedy. Not even the typical Robin Williams underplayed comedy a la Club Paradise or Garp.

    A drama too incredible to be believed (an independent candidate being admitted into the presidential debates. Need I say more?) gets labeled as a comedy when its corporate sponsors don't know what else to call it. Especially when they star famous comedians. Sets you up expecting a laugh a minute. There were significantly fewer laughs than that.

    The people who want to see a comedy will be a bit dissapointed with that movie, it kind of concerns on the American political issues and the movie at the end turned into a thriller!! Anyway it was a nice ride with Robin Williams and his lovely sarcasm of everything around him.A RECOMMANDED ONE.

    I thought this was a cool movie, a good balance between comedy and politics. I was glad when Tom believed Elenoar and did'nt go with the crowd. I thought that Robin Williams did a good job but a more serious person should have [layed Tom Dobbs.

    This movie was nastier than a 5 week old caviar/ squid pizza- just a kind word or warning: don't watch this unless you already hate Robin Williams, because if you loved him (like I did prior to watching this bastard child of a comedy), you will end this movie wondering just WHY you could previously stand watching someone who would agree to be in such an atrocious movie.
    Take it from me, I'm just warning the general public out of the kindness of my heart and love for many of the poor, obviously misguided actors who starred in this atrocity. You guys need to read the scripts before you sign onto a movie as horrific as this one!
