Acting
When you have Robin Williams in a show you know it’s gonna be funny. Robin does a good job as a talk show host who’s funny and to the point at the same time. Laura Linney has successfully portrayed her character as a jumpy, undecisive and awkward character but with a touch of determination to add to her character. The chemistry between the two main characters is there but it’s very mellow. On the other hand, this is more of a comedy and drama type of movie. Christopher Walken who plays Jack, Tom’s manager has done a good job as the supporter and a sort of motivator for the main character.
Overall
The movie was enjoyable, I laughed a lot at the political humour that was in the movie. You don’t have to be a US citizen to understand the political references. There were some thriller and suspense parts that really got me at the edge of my seat. I was wondering if it was a thriller movie somewhere in the middle of the movie because of certain scenes. It’s a simple story but emphasizes the need to be honest throughout the movie and the ending was satisfactory.
