Tom Dobbs (Robin Williams) is a host of a comedy political talk show (like Jon Stewart for example) who is running for president of the US. After a political debate, Tom gets the right amount of votes to become the next president, thanks to a glitch in these touch-screen computers owned by a certain company. This certain company wants the glitch to be kept a secret, but only Eleanor Green (Laura Linney) knows the secret and wants Tom to know it as well. Can she do it or will she fail?
You might be thinking that the storyline to this film may seem interesting, and it is, but when it's seen, it doesn't quite work out as much as you would've wanted it to. When it's seen, the storyline starts going all over the place and the characters seem to be really uninteresting and people who you can't give a damn about, no matter how well the actors perform their characters in this film. Speaking of performance, Robin Williams gives a top-notch performance with his character Tom who delivers some hilarious gags and one-liners and would be seen as the only funny person in this film. So in other words, he steals the movie, even though it's not really a good one.
This film is a nice-try, but no cigar.
