MAN OF THE YEAR NOW AVAILABLE

MAN OF THE YEAR NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE MAN OF THE YEAR FROM IMDB

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. 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. To protect their fortune, Delacroy executives want to keep the glitch a secret, but one programmer, Eleanor Green, wants Dobbs to know the truth. Can she get to him? Written by {jhailey@hotmail.com}

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE MAN OF THE YEAR FROM DVDTALK

The Movie There's a simple fact of film criticism which can be very, very hard to follow: One can only review the film as it is presented. Many critics, myself included, are tempted to criticize movies for what they're aren't, or for what they could have been. (Gene Siskel was often guilty of this.) Keeping this in mind, how does one judge a film which was mis-represented by its advertising? The critic can't blame the filmmakers for this and can only look at the film in question. Thus is the case with Barry Levinson's Man of the Year. Robin Williams stars in Man of the Year as Tom Dobbs, a Jon Stewart-esque host of a talk show which mixes political and comic overtones. One night, an audience member asks Tom why he doesn't run for president. When Tom mentions this on his show, the e-mails pour in and he begins to take the idea seriously, much to the chagrin of his manager, Jack Menken (Christopher Walken), and his head writer, Eddie Langston (Lewis Black). Given the clear support that he's getting and the feedback from viewers who are tired of the political parties, Tom decides to throw his hat in the ring. Meanwhile, a computer firm called Delacroy has received a contract to supply computerized voting booths to every precinct in the country. Employee Eleanor Green (Laura Linney) finds a glitch in the system which makes the program unreliable. She takes this to company president Hemmings (Rick Roberts), who assures her that it will be taken care of.
