Man of the Year
by Nathan on Mar.26, 2007, under Uncategorized
Last night I watched Man of the Year. I have been waiting to see this movie for a long time, and I have to say the wait was worth it. This movie was great. It had a cast, good political info/jokes, and plot that we all should feel uncomfortable about.
Lewis Black, Robin Williams, and Christopher Walken what a cast! These are some of the funniest men alive. I would have liked the movie more if Lewis Black had gotten to do more jokes, but he was still funny doing his hand shacking and yelling routine. All three men were able to pull off some great political jokes, most came Robin Williams, since he was the lead.
The plot was about electronic voting machines screwing up and allowing the wrong candidate to win the election. I believe electronic voting machines are going to be a problem we are all going to face in the coming years. If you haven’t seen Hacking Democracy you should watch it. The movie explains how some voting machines can be exploited easily.
Man of the Year brought up great political issues while also being very funny.

First off, you are dead on: the cast is one of those “oh, this is going to be good!!” things. Hell, Robin Williams is certifiably insane, Lewis Black is the funny angry guy, and Walken is… he’s just fuckin’ WALKEN! That aside, I do have to say that I disagree with you. I really went to the theater to see a political comedy and walked out after watching what was more of a funny thriller… There were plenty of jokes though.

Yeah…I loved this movie! Anything with my man Robin in it is worth watching a thousand times over!
