Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Jazznme2 I was NOT ever a Kennedy supporter. Not back then. Now, 50 years + later, how I wish these men had been given the opportunity to carry out their terms and change America to include all our people and begin to really build America. I would vote for them today! What their father did to build the family fortune was back in the 30's! Who cares! I think his sons wanted to give back to America. (not so abiding with Teddy. His lack of judgment at Chappaq was unforgivable)I just think it is UNthinkable that JFK MX MLK & RFK were ALL assassinated back in the 60's. That is about as ugly a chapter that America has ever shown to the world, outside of the Civil War! It is so perplexing to comprehend this happening in America.

Cinefill1 -Bobby is a 2006 American drama film written and directed by Emilio Estevez, and starring an ensemble cast. The screenplay is a fictionalized account of the hours leading up to the June 5, 1968 shooting of U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy in the kitchen of The Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles following his win of the 1968 Democratic Party presidential primary in California.--Critical reception:-Bobby received mainly mixed reviews from critics, who praised its ensemble cast and the direction of Emilio Estevez but criticized the film for having too many plot points and characters. It has a rating of 46% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 169 reviews, with an average score of 5.6 out of 10. The consensus states, "Despite best intentions from director Emilio Estevez and his ensemble cast, they succumb to a script filled with pointless subplots and awkward moments working too hard to parallel contemporary times." The film also has a score of 54 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on 31 critics, indicating mixed or average reviews. -A. O. Scott of The New York Times said, "Emilio Estevez . . . sets himself a large and honorable task. It is important to appreciate this in spite of his movie's evident shortcomings. Intentions do count for something, and Mr. Estevez's seem to me entirely admirable . . . The actors seem more like 'very special guest stars' than like real, 1968-vintage Americans, and their period-appropriate get-ups . . . are more distracting than convincing . . . Some of the stories feel too obviously melodramatic, while others are vague to the point of inscrutability. In the Vietnam- and drug-related plots, the point is hammered home too hard . . . while other narratives wind toward no discernible point at all. Nonetheless the ambition behind Bobby is large and serious." -Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times called it "an ambitious film drenched in sincerity and oozing with nostalgia that, despite the energy provided by its title icon via archival footage, falls flat dramatically in nearly every other way. It aspires for the Altmanesque interplay of Nashville or Short Cuts but instead feels like one of those '70s disaster epics such as Earthquake or The Towering Inferno, in which a star-studded cast endures melodramatic story lines as the audience awaits the inevitable momentous event and tries to guess who will be around at the finish . . . It's easy to become swept up in the palpable enthusiasm Estevez shows toward his subject, but the pedestrian and overly expositional dialogue of the film's characters proves to be as stifling as the excerpts from Kennedy's speeches are stirring." -Deborah Young of Variety said of Estevez, "Stepping up as writer and director in a way he never has before, (he) successfully pulls together a complexly designed narrative," and added the film "carries an eerie topicality that makes many of its insights instantly click." Armond White of New York Press wrote that the film "has a humane sweetness", and that it "literally and vividly unites different ethnic groups, labor strata and social castes" in a way that "is not schematic—its exactitude and believability has a Tocquevillian brilliance." -Steve Persall of the St. Petersburg Times graded the film C, calling it "a misguided jumble of too much fiction, few facts and zero speculation" and Estevez "a mediocre filmmaker." Michael Medved, who was in the Ambassador ballroom (20 feet from the podium) the night Kennedy was shot, awarded the film three out of four stars and called it "intriguing but imperfect." He added, "Emilio Estevez gets most of the feelings of the occasion right. But, the melodramatic, multi-character format proves somewhat uneven and distracting." -Richard Roeper said, "Estevez writes and directs with lots of passion, not so much subtlety . . . (He) wants the movie to be on the level of a Robert Altman film like Nashville but falls short." Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film one star and called it "trite fiction" and a work of "insipid ineptitude." He ranked it among the worst films of 2006, as did Lou Lumerick of the New York Post, who dubbed it an "ambitious, but utterly wrong-headed trivialization. --Cast: • Harry Belafonte as Nelson • Joy Bryant as Patricia • Nick Cannon as Dwayne Clark • Emilio Estevez as Tim Fallon • Laurence Fishburne as Edward Robinson • Lindsay Lohan as Diane Howser • Dave Fraunces as Robert F.

callanvass A story of how President Kennedy was shot in the early hours of the morning and how it affected the lives of everyone around him. I don't remember much about this movie, but it did have some powerful moments. Emilio Estevez hung up his acting boots to sit in the Director's chair. He's a pretty good Director in all honesty. If you want a better example, watch The Way Way Back. It has an all-star cast that will knock the socks off of the most critical. I do remember that the cast kept me going, but it was a little bit too slow-paced for my liking. Political enthusiasts will likely find things to enjoy about this movie. 6/10

ccbc People who complain about the ensemble cast and disparate story lines are missing the point. This is a movie about ordinary people caught up in the great drama of history. All the people have their own lives to live (as is pointed up in a Kennedy speech clip during the credits) but all are affected by the event that is to take place. War movies frequently have this concept. This is a peace movie about people whose lives will be changed by an outside event. (Disclaimer: I remember in June 1968 my wife, an early riser, sitting on the edge of the bed saying, "Robert Kennedy was shot." I knew right away what that meant: Nixon would be president, four more years of war... Yes, I was one of those ordinary people who was affected by this historic event.)
