SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
What would happen if one of the nation's funniest men became
its leading one? Oscar® winner Robin Williams reunites
with the director of "Good Morning, Vietnam" to
answer just that question in the comic tale of an entertainer's
accidental rise to power, "Man of the Year."
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?
This election season, comic actors including Laura Linney,
Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum and Lewis Black join Williams
in a pulled-from-the-headlines comedy. Together with Oscar®
winner Barry Levinson ("Rain Man," "Wag the
Dog"), they'll show the world that--only in America--a
comedian can become the country's next president and our "Man
of the Year."
