Directed by Barry Levinson
Staring Robin Williams
Rating M
Score 5/6

A host of a late-night political talk show host ends up runs for President of the United States of America as an independent candidate. In the end he wins but as a result of a computer glitch with the touch screen voting system. In order to protect their profits the company that provided the system wants to keep the glitch secret. Can a computer programer that knows the truth get to the President?

Its interesting to think the parallels that Man of the year has with recent American political history, the movie reiterates . Robin Williams is perfect as Tom Dobbs, you really have to wonder about the line between character and actor.
