Robin Williams new movie "Man of The Year" synopsis:
Acerbic performer Tom Dobbs (Robin Williams) has made his career out of skewering politicians and speaking the mind of the exasperated nation on his talk show. He cracked scathing jokes at a fractured system night after night...until he came up with a really funny idea: why not run for president himself? After a flip comment, Dobbs ignites a grassroots movement that puts him on the ballot. Hot on the campaign trail, he debates elected drones and says exactly what frustrated voters have often thought. Nov. 2nd later, the muckraker wins-only to learn that a computer voting error gave him the victory. With time ticking on the inaugural clock, Dobbs has a big decision to make: should he go back behind the mike or stay in the Oval Office?With just a few changes, this could be a documentary about W.
A walking-talking joke (George W. Bush) has made his career out of skewering words, policies and people and speaking the mind of the corporations he is beholden to. He is a joke and on the road to being addicted to crack...until he came up with a really funny idea: why not run for president himself? After getting the backing of Uncle Dick Cheney and his minions, W ignites a pseudo-grassroots movement that puts him on the ballot. Hot on the campaign trail, he stumbles through debates and says exactly what his corporate backers have scripted for him. Nov. 2nd later, the clown wins-only to learn that a computer vote-stealing program engineered by his team gave him the victory. With time ticking on the inaugural clock, W has a big decision to make: should he go back to Texas, drugs, beer and baseball or stay in the Oval Office?
