These look like two of the worst movies in a long time that are actually getting a lot of ads on TV.

Man of the Year doesn't look that bad to me. I wouldn't go see it at the theater, though.

I really don't want to see anything with Robin Williams in it ever again, unless it's a casket.

yeah i gotta agree. he dropped the big bum out on me during this week's Real Time with Bill Maher as well. I met Robin Williams in Chapel Hill years ago and he seemed like a normal, sedate, kinda cool guy. then he acts like jubilee jumbles all the time and irritates the shit out of people. just sad, really.

Reasons to see bad movie #1:
1. Robert "Agent Daggett T-2" Patrick
2. Kimber chick from Nip/Tuck

Reason to see bad movie #2:
1. Christopher Walken

As much as I love Walken, watching a rapidly aging Williams play a comedian prez is much more a not-gonna-happen than is watching the 300th time some special forces dude kills 700 bad dudes while rescuing a loved one.

I guess "Man of the Year" will suck since Barry Levinson has such a bad resume.... directing "Rainman" & "Good Morning Vietnam", "Wag The Dog", "The Natural". Writing & directing "Diner", "Avalon", "Tin Men", "Liberty Heights"... co-writing "Tootsie"

Know the difference between a directors movie & a star vehicle

It's still Williams playing a comedian prez, regardless of your presumptive condescension.

Yeah, but it's a comedian president who gets elected because of faulty electronic voting machines. Which is at least a little more realistic than it comes off.

Speaking of, what is the fucking song in the preview for this DVD that I see every day?

I think its the ramones, and the only snippet I can hear is "Bah, ba, ba, ba...World is turning up-side down."

SOMEONE TELL ME!!

Dude, I live in ALABAMA, RVing is a way of life, along with shitty, unfunny movies, and jailbait like JoJo. Now tell me what the fucking song is.

Cena over Williams for sure.

In real life and box office for these films. No doubt.

I did enjoy Robin Williams in the "Night Caller" recently so I'm not a hater... kids and action fans will go see Cena... adults will not buy the idea of Williams in the role of his film.

Bet me bitches.

Show me the artist of any sort with a perfect resume (besides Blowfly) & I'll show you a hundreds with spotty resumes that made amazing shit.

I'm just saying automatically lowering MotY to RV level is pretty short sided. There's huge difference between a film made by an accomplished writer/director who makes his movies and a converted cinematographer who's written nothing & never done anything but star vehicles. Even if they share a star. You don't like the star then you don't like the star. But to not see beyond that star is pretty ignorant film consumption
