If you liked Wag The Dog and Bullworth, then you will like this movie. It has the same feel and it is filmed in a similar manner. The movie follows a John Stewart-like talk show host played by Robin Williams who as a joke says he is going to run for president and then he does, and then because of a computer glitch, he wins. The movie after that is almost a combo political-corporate thriller / satire on the political system in general.
I normally am not a big Robin Williams fan (other then Mrs Doubtfire, which was a good movie), but he is good in this movie because for the most part he is not completely over the top the entire time.
I would recommend seeing this movie. The entire cast, which is huge, was also very good (Chistopher Walken, Laura Linney, Lewi Black, Jeff Goldblum, etc.). Was a fun few hours!

| I just finished watching this and was thrilled with the plot and the performances. There was nothing predicatable about this film which is a nice change and it was a wonderful mix of genres. 4 stars from me
