I saw Man of the Year last night. It was pretty good, not quite as funny as I thought it was gonna be but still entertaining. I won’t give the movie away but at least give an overview.

Robin Williams is a talk show host similar to Jon Stewart or Bill Maher. He decides to run for the President of the US. At this current election, the entire country has been converted to electronic voting machines except there is a glitch which basically votes Robin Williams in, in a landslide. A woman who works for the voting machine company finds the glitch and tries to tell Robin William’s character that he did not earn the presidency…

3.5/5 stars.

oh man thats a waste.

i saw this as well and had less to say about it than rubicant, and i surely wouldnt see it twice in the theatre. it is not a terrible movie, but i really didnt think it was anything better than 2/5 stars.
