We went seeking greatness in movies, and were most often disappointed. We waited for a movie like the one we wanted to make, and secretly wanted to live. -Roger Ebert paraphrasing a quote from Masculin Feminin

Man Of The Year
What to say about Robin Williams? What to say about Man of the Year? If Hollywood had never acknowledged either I suspect the world would be a better place. I don't buy for one second of this film, the idea that Robin Williams is a successful "Daily Show"-esque comedian news reporter. Part of the plot revolves around some crazy fouled up voting machine and the whole reason Williams gets elected is because of the error. And no one suspects fraud, even though he had only 10% of the vote going into the election. This movie exists in a fantasy world where apparently the Gore/Bush race never happened. Oh yeah and its horribly not funny. When, o when will Hollywood learn to use Christopher Walken to his full comic potential? He was the only bright spot in this horrible movie.
