75Man of the Year remains an interesting proposition throughout, and a tale well told.
-
58The movie offers several moments in which Williams comes alive, but they're few and far between.
-
50Levinson diverts his film into a political thriller with its own conspiracy theory, an improbable romance and a curious subplot that feels like an anti-smoking ad. Little wonder his bewildered star, Robin Williams, looks confused much of the time.
-
38Levinson has written and directed in many genres. But rarely has he made a film as indecisive and diffident as Man of the Year.
