Robin Williams reunites with writer-director Barry Levinson ('Good Morning Vietnam', 'Toys') for this embarrassing political thriller/romantic comedy about a talk show host who, fed up with the political system, suddenly decides to run for president. A great conceit gives way to sentiment, lame jokes and sloppily executed comedy set pieces.
