Ciudadano Bob Roberts

"Bob Roberts" is a hilarious and scathing satire that pokes fun at right wing politicians perhaps a little too harshly-but it's still great (and sometimes depressingly accurate) fun. If your politics are anti- Republican/conservative, than you will likely have a ball watching this movie! Right wingers may be a little offended by it, and I can't blame them all too much, since it is so critical of their beliefs, and after a shocking final twist, the main characters are all revealed to be even more scummy than they originally seemed. But, at times, "Bob Roberts" also pokes fun at the media, extreme left wingers (not sure if this satire was intentional, though, but it seems like it), and just the nature politics in general.

Tim Robbins writes, directs, and stars in this film-and does a great job, leading a cast of many fine and interesting actors that range from Ray Wise to Jack Black.

This is definitely an entertaining watch for those who agree with its politics. For others, it is perfect rage fuel.
