Man of the Year (2006)
Wat zou er gebeuren als een tv-komiek per ongeluk President van de Verenigde Staten zou worden? Het antwoord wordt gegeven in Man of the Year, een spannende komedie van regisseur Barry Levinson, die de politiek eerder op de hak nam in Wag the Dog en die eerder samenwerkte met Robin Williams aan het meesterlijke Good Morning, Vietnam. Robin Williams speelt Tom Dobbs, de presentator van een komische talkshow, die zichzelf als publiciteitsstunt kandidaat stelt voor de Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezing. Ziin campagne is één grote komische show en niemand verwacht dat hij zal winnen. Tom zelf ook niet. Het is dan ook een grote schok wanneer hij als winnaar uit de bus komt. Maar klopt de uitslag wel? De kersverse president ontdekt al snel dat duistere machten hem een handje hebben geholpen. Dezelfde duistere machten proberen hem en computerexpert Eleanor Green (Laura Linney) nu het zwijgen op te leggen. Is er nog een weg terug?
