Man of the Year

While in Singapore, I also watched Man of the Year, a movie directed by Barry Levinson. Robin Williams stars as comedian Tom Dobbs who decides to run for President of the USA, and, to everyone's surprise, wins the election. Trouble is he owes his victory to a computer glitch in the national touch-screen voting system marketed by Delacroy, a private company with a rising stock price. To protect their fortune, Delacroy executives want to keep the glitch a secret, but one programmer, Eleanor Green, wants Dobbs to know the truth.

A so-so movie, quite entertaining but also quite forgetable. The movie also stars Christopher Walken who I have seen in umpteen other movies......
