Jeanie and I watched "Man Of The Year" with Robin Williams last night...
We both enjoyed it overall, and it definitely had some very funny moments, although I wouldn't rank it as great. It was also ultimately a sweet movie, although many of the critics faulted it for this. It didn't hurt that it very much mirrors my own personal beliefs about our political system.
I still think we have the best political system in the world, but that doesn't mean that it is perfect, or that it couldn't be improved. I don't think it is so much that there were flaws in the original design, as that over time, flaws have been created through changes made to the original design or due to other changes in society that were not addressed properly with amendments to the design.
I think the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes were a bit harsh.
As usual, Wikipedia has a good synopsis (albeit with spoilers).
