Even being told that she took drugs and stuff, Dobbs is pretty sure that Eleanor is telling the truth that he is not the true elected President, and the conspiracy is becoming more hyped with Eleanor trying to be killed to shut her up. After going temporarily mad, being drugged by men sent by her slimy boss Stewart (Jeff Goldblum), she struggles to get this information out, but she does eventually reach Dobbs and explains the glitch. Kellogg = two Ls and two Gs, Mills = two Ls. The voting computer made the mistake of believing the votes for Dobbs counted on the fact that the other two candidates have double letters in their names too, i.e. His luck may be about to change though, because Eleanor Green (Laura Linney), who was removed from her job at Delacroy, the private company with rising stocks that created the new computer system for votes to be cast, has discovered a glitch. He and everyone around him, including his sick manager Jack Menken (Christopher Walken) and Eddie Langston (Lewis Black), are pleased with the result and happy to see him shake up politics as the new President elect. Senator Mills (David Ferry), but to everyone's surprise, he does win. So it comes to the day of the election, there are small but doubtful to happen hopes that Tom does actually win the election, against Democratic Incumbent President Kellogg (David Nichols) and Republican U.S. He thinks to himself that he could actually do it, and he becomes the independent candidate, and he almost deliberately shows himself up as a questionable candidate, and he makes for good viewing. Basically Tom Dobbs (Robin Williams) is the host of a satirical comedy politics talk show, and someone jokes in the show that with his quick wit he could run for President of the United States in the up and coming election. I saw one of the posters for this film, where the leading star is dressed like George Washington, so the concept was going to be obvious, and one that I was willing to try, from director Barry Levinson (Good Morning, Vietnam Rain Man). Reviewed by jboothmillard 4 / 10 Man of the Year The pacing may have some issues from time to time, but all the actors involved here (and what a fine bunch we have!) make more than up for it! Yes it also is predictable, but why would you derive yourself of having fun? Just go with the flow. And of course something previous reviewers had no chance of predicting - or seeing as a possibility of being something that could actually happen.Īll that aside - the acting is superb here. He has dignity, he has courage, he has a soul! While the voting is going on, you have something happening here that Trump (and his minions, no offense to minions everywhere) claimed happened in the 2020 election.

Though the character depicted in this movie actually is honest, so don't try to compare them. No one back then could have imagined something like this happening. Then again, would we have believed to elect a clown to office? When I saw we I obviously mean the American people in this case, though it can be any other country too.
He would have made a great late night host for sure - even if he might not have believed so himself.
there is so much video evidence of him being just exceptional - one of those cases is right here. if one ever forgets how great of a comedian he was.
Reviewed by kosmasp 9 / 10 Individual of the year To protect their fortune, Delacroy executives want to keep the glitch a secret, but one programmer, Eleanor Green, wants Dobbs to know the truth. Trouble is he owes his victory to a computer glitch in the national touch-screen voting system marketed by Delacroy, a private company with a rising stock price. Tom Dobbs, comedic host of a political talk show - a la Bill Maher and Jon Stewart - runs for President of the US as an independent candidate who, after an issues-oriented campaign and an explosive performance in the final debate, gets just enough votes to win.
