{television} man of the year (2006)

Directed by Barry Levinson, this comedy stars Robin Williams as the irreverent host of a political satire talk show who runs for president. But his stunt to expose Washington corruption goes further than he expects when he actually wins the election. Meanwhile, a software engineer (Laura Linney) suspects that a computer glitch is responsible for the surprising victory, but will she speak up? Jeff Goldblum and Christopher Walken co-star.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** While well intentioned, it's somewhat aimless and meandering at times and doesn't fully take advantage of Robin Williams' full potential. The debate scene was one of the best scenes of the movie though. If only real Presidential debates were like this more people would probably be interested if the candidates only talked to real people like real people.
