Tom Dobbs makes an off-hand comment on his late night talk show that he would be a better president than the leader who currently occupies the White House. A grassroots campaign conducted by his legions of fans finds him unexpectedly ushered into the Oval Office and forced to live up to his promise. Unfortunately for Dobbs, he finds out that his surprise victory was actually the result of a voting computer glitch and not winning the majority vote leaves the outspoken funnyman struggling with the decision to stay the course in the Oval Office or head back behind the microphone where he is truly in his element.

It was OK. Borrowed it to watch second time, but actually did not have time. Recommend it.

Not a good movie. The plot is boring and uninteresting. Does not do anything to grab your attention and keep it. Humour was disappointing, and the added drama was just out of place and weird.

Not a great movie, but I've seen worse. Good to fill a rainy afternoon.

This film's attractions include engaging plot & cast & an interesting commentary on politics & ethics. Unfortunately, its intelligence is undermined by too many crude, boring jokes about sexual anatomy & the discrepancy that, as usual, Robin William's humour concerns character & attitude--not politics.

Robin Williams was a great choice for the lead character in this film. He makes it what it is.

Tom Dobbs: People say Intelligent Design, we must teach Intelligent Design. Look at the human body, is that intelligent? You have a waste processing plant next to a recreation area.

Tom Dobbs: When I was a young boy I used to look at pictures of naked ladies, hence my right hand is very strong. I touched myself more than a third base coach.
