A political satire of a comedian (Williams) who after dissing the
political campaigns and presidents is forced into the running. But
shockingly we wins and makes a mockery of the office. "Man of the Year"
is not the funniest movie nor the best but in small doses it does work.
Williams again teaming with Levinson after a hit with "Good Morning,
Vietnam". The two seem to have a great chemistry and work off each
other. I am not comparing them to Scorsese and DeNiro but you can get
the picture. Although I wouldn't quite say to rush out there and see
the movie in theaters I would recommend renting it. This movie is a
comedy but also has a great satire, please if you like movies like
"Scary Movie 4" this is not for you, take your brain with you to see
it. - ***
