: Man of the Year
This is fine concept — a political comic gets elected president of the United States — but the film is too uneven and can’t even follow it’s own humor advice getting much too serious at times and even turning into a spy thriller at times. It’s got some great stuff — funny lines, Robin Williams, fake news segments, a SNL appearance — but then it has awkward scenes that don’t work and storylines that aren’t connected (What did the manager’s hospital stay have to do with anything?). in the end, while it’s got some political bite, it needs to go much further (like Wag the Dog did). Not as bad as I expected, but you won’t be laughing that much.
