The parts with Robin Williams doing his "political comedy commentary" are funny and dead-on. The problem is, half-way through, the movie decides to become a thriller, and it doesn't work at all.... Full review

I hate it when a movie is advertised as a comedy when it is really not. It might have some jokes, but that does not make it a comedy. It starts out with some guy who decides to run for president.... Full review

The moral dilemma is sweet and makes Man of the Year more satisfying, thought provoking, relevant and touching than we might expect and a great piece of entertainment as well. Politics, big business and legitimacy are the themes of Man of the Year, which begins as an intriguing, if unbelievable political satire before letting fly into more successful thriller territory. ...

Man Of The Year is amusing in places....it's never compelling and ultimately unconvincing.....Linney is excellent, particularly in one scene in which her character is unknowingly drugged....It's rare that Linney chooses a bad film....while this isn't terrible, it just doesn't live up to either its stars or its early promise..... ...

Commander in Chief: Making of Man of the Year " (13 minutes) is a making of featurette which thankfully spares us from too many clips. As it stands, the movie is very non-commital and never satisfying. ... Full Review
