Negative Positive
Title: Not As Advertised
Review: When I first saw the trailers for this film, I figured it would be a comedy and it did actually seem funny. However, when I finally saw this movie, my first impression was that it could not be further from the truth. It started out, somewhat, as a comedy then quickly turned into a drama which, unfortunately, doesn't work for Robin Williams. The movie starts out slow and remains that way for about the first thirty minutes, then the suspense part kicks in and starts keeping you a little on edge throughout the rest of the movie. Suspense in a supposed comedy movie?Man of the Year is a great example of bad and misleading marketing, because everything from the poster, to the trailer, to the online advertisements makes this movie look and feel like a comedy. I would honestly have to say about 1/3 of the film is funny while the rest of it plays off as a political thriller that makes good arguments and allows its audience to think.
Is the review positive or negative?
