Man of the Year is about a talk show host who decides to run for President of the United States. This storyline had enormous potential and a stellar cast but really failed to deliver. First, the main character is supposed to be an Independent who dislikes both parties, but is CLEARLY a Democrat in everything he says and represents. I know, Hollywood big shock and I can let that one slide. The worst thing to me about the movie was the audio track. I think the director's tried to film a lot of ambient sound and everything sounds like a shouting match. Too much white noise in every scene really stole all the thunder from some well played scenes by Robin Williams. The frantic pace of some conversations and visuals also caused many seemingly funny moments to fall flat. This movie sucks!

Robin Williams sucks. He plays the same character in every movie. It's the same bit, like he's stuck in a rut, just like Jim Carey.
I don't think he sucks, he is just better in a drama. Ironic since his comedy used to be great.
