Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
A few observations about the hollowness of party politics, plus Robin Williams doing lots of funny shtick as a Jon Stewart-like comic running for president, have been thrown together with low regard for logic or consistent tone.
– Joe Morgenstern,
Wall Street Journal,
13 Oct 2006
rotten:
It's a comedy, a political thriller, a love story: Barry Levinson's Man of the Year tries to be all things to all people and fails on every count -- a little like the generic, ineffectual politicians it's pretending to excoriate.
– Stephanie Zacharek,
Salon.com,
13 Oct 2006
rotten:
Man of the Year makes telling points and has a lot to say, but it loses its voice along with its consistency around the mid-way point, and that will likely make it an also-ran in the box office race.
– James Berardinelli,
ReelViews,
13 Oct 2006
fresh:
A surprisingly complex and dark satire that skewers the media as well as the political process.
– Richard Roeper,
Ebert & Roeper,
17 Oct 2006
rotten:
Levinson has written and directed in many genres. But rarely has he made a film as indecisive and diffident as Man of the Year.
