Although this movie was produced in 1998, it can't be more current. A fun movie to enjoy for a weekend, most informative and, above all, excellent food for thought! A very funny and explicit way to inform the general public about what some politicians do best. De Niro and Dustin Hoffman at their best!

DVD is an excellent copy of an original. I am satisfied though because I merely wanted a copy of the movie. Essentially, the price was right. I really appreciated receiving the DVD very quickly. Thank you!

I love this movie. The shipping was fast and it was in very good condition. The reason why I bought this movie is because I needed it for a sociology class to write a paper.

One of the best political movies of all times. It takes a look at the man behind the man, and makes you wonder who is really running the show. It came out about the time of a sax playing ex-press. had a run in with a certain blue dress. There are alot of VERY FUNNY undertones and has a great twist... just how much do the American people really know about what is going on in DC... just take a look and you will be shocked.

  Stimulates the imagination with such a bizarre title
Review created: 03/14/09

Love this movie. I've referred to it several times in conversations. It's a movie that really sticks with you. It makes you seriously wonder and scrutinize what you view on t.v. I love the fact the time-frame of the movie was centered around the term of Bill Clinton's presidency. I would and have recommended this movie to people of all ages.

  Real Life of Fiction?
Review created: 02/19/09

It is eye opening to see this movie. It seems like this happens in our world all the time. As you watch this movie, think about the corporate controlled media and ask yourself "Is this what is really going on?" Well worth the time and cost to see the power behind the myths we are told.

  So close to the Washington truth
Review created: 02/04/09

Hubby and I love this movie. Love the perfect casting and how much more appropriate could the timing have been of President Clinton and Ms. Lewinski in the Oval Office. An Armenian war was not created during that time but too bad it wasn't .... it would have taken the heat off of Bill and Hillary could have let Bill back in the bedroom with his sax!

We actually bought this movie because it was so cleverly written and the cast is perfect. Love it. I give it 5 stars!

  Hollwood mocks Hollywood
Review created: 10/06/06(updated 10/06/06)

The only people allowed to laugh at Hollywood are those who have become massive successes in tinseltown. So Barry Levinson, Dustin Hoffman and Robert de Niro are alowed mocking privileges denied to lesser mortals. In this film they combine in a fast-moving, brilliant spoof. The President has been caught in a sexual misdemeanour and Robert de Niro is hired to divert the public's attention from the news. To achieve this he collaborates with Dustin Hoffman to present the public with a war in Albania, created and viewed on television according to the rules of Hollywood. The war exists only on television and is ended when a political opponent states on television that the war is over. The only reality is "I saw it on television". Hoffman refuses to accept that "his" war is ended and a surrealistic sequence of events unfolds to resuscitate the illusion of an ongoing war and its aftermath. Reality finally takes over when the spin is successful and government takes steps to gather any loose threads. The film breaks all the rules (no love interest, no titanic struggle of good and evil) and succeeds in building fantasy on fantasy to produce a magnificent spoof that manages to out-Lewinsky the Lewinsky story.

  Great Movie!
Review created: 10/03/06

This is a great movie, keyed to a wide audience, but a must for any politically savy person. Very witty depiction of the media through a a use of satirical comedy, yet with a gritty undertone. I saw this in a government class of mine and have seen it three times since, highly recommended, Deniro and Hoffman are brilliant!
