how be it possible to make such a bad movie with such actor . be they force into it . the plot have nothing to do with an idea of how thing would turn out if a comedian ran for president . they do not even try to give an impression of that . just when you think you be watch a comment from famous liberal on dc politics ( the first five minute ) and the movie run off the road and into b film drama about 1 ) a computer voting error and 2 ) the regular evil corporate suit who want to cover it up with the most unoriginal line in history and and 3 ) a neurotic but extremely pretty female programmer who try to tell the come president about this . she soon the victim of the evil x file master lord of the computer company and who instead of kill her drug her to make her seem untrustworthy . but and when she get to dc and she doesn not tell him . in fact and the movie then change from b film drama and to idiotic b film love drama . up to now and we be so far off the original start point of the movie and that most people turn it off . i almost do . if it just could have be intelligent love drama and but no . it not . it the kind of oops i be so nervous i be be stupid all the time and so please love me for it kind of love drama . all with a slow and slow pace and that have nothing to do with either the political plot of the movie and the x file plot of the movie and or the comedy plot of the movie . all plot fail on all level and which every annoy bit of meaningless dialog remind you of . the love part have to be the result of decide during a drinking binge hey and there have to be a dynamic of love between the president candidate and the extremely pretty female programmer and yeah and that will work . stick it in there . meanwhile and lewis black be castrate and put into a role where he doesn not come up with one single lewis black line . the lewis black anger be replace by a hope for it to surface sometime in the film and which it never do . and christopher walken be throw into a hospital with heart trouble and to duplicate the dramatic effect of the heart attack of the president close aid in westwing . watch christopher walken be castrate like lewis black in role that constantly struggle uphill to sound casual and westwing ish and but fail like titanic every time and be like watch a great blue whale die on a beach . heartbreaking . and then and enter the low point of the whole movie represent it raise the mindbogglingly and enormously difficult ethical question represent should robin williams go on to be president and knowing that he get elect because of a computer glitch . the american dream and all good prevails a he turn down the presidency on live tv and like lassie the dog would . with the usual patriotic glamor of the presidency and the be so smart that be make history atmosphere that westwing cultivate in sicken abundance for the next million year . the director and screen writer and barry levinson and be now on my personal list of writer and director i be stay away from forever . this film must be see a a symptom of a faulty production process and where people ( inlcuding barry levinson ) get to spend production money due to their personal relationship and and not their skill . this be a project make to satisfy poorly skilled people wish for career success and and the formerly mention great actor be trick into participate in it . that the only explanation there can be . ps represent the voting error in the computer be due to the double letter in dobbs and kellogs and mill . of course it be and what else could it be when you write a script and can not tell a computer from a dish washing machine .
