Rented this one tonight. Big Robin Williams fan. But....most of the critics are kind of right about this one. Man of the Year can't seem to figure out what it wants to be. When it's at it's best, it's being a smart comedic, political satire. Good stuff on that level.

Then it gets bogged down with trying to be a thriller etc...cover ups...self importance. Not bad....but really could've been alot better.

Some of the stuff from Robin Williams is rather funny.

Agree with Patrick too on Walken. He was rather good here.

Overall, a 7/10.
