Tom Dobbs is a political satirist and a talk show host, played by Robin Williams, who decides to run for President. The all-star cast brings this political fantasy to life, but the story is contrived. Multiple fumbles and rehashed jokes squander a great idea on a barely competent execution.

Grade: C.

The key revelation in the film feels clunky, unbelievable, and tacked on. Overall, the movie is watchable, but somewhat predictable.

Grade: C+.
