The first time I enjoyed this movie more, mainly because I did not know what to expect. This time I did not enjoy it at all. It seemed like Warren was preaching liberalism, and solcialist systems for the populous. Dont waist... Full review

In BULWORTH Warren Beatty gives one of his funniest and most outrageous performances. This sharp political satire is even more timely now than it was in 1998. This is a marvelously subversive movie on several fronts: politics, race, economics, Hollywood... Full review

A movie about a burned-out white liberal regaining his soul by acting the 100 percent black man could have been an embarrassment....But Bulworth (1998) is as fierce as it is farcical, tinged with sadness....Warren Beatty pulls it off with this audacious, nervy, bracingly entertaining polemic..... ...

What's fun about Bulworth is Beatty's commitment to the part and the ideology.
But for all of the film's entertainment and supposed truth-telling
He's willing to be the clown and plays it well.

When Bulworth bursts into rhyme, he is doing what people in musicals do: using some form of song to say what can't be said in everyday speech.
