Bob Roberts (1992)
How intrigued are you, based upon seeing the trailer?
Anne: Interesting
Jack: Cool
Impressions based on the trailer
Satirical comedy about folk-singing, extreme right-wing senatorial candidate.
Comments after seeing the film.
Anne: trailer does a pretty accurate job of summarizing the film. I think I enjoyed both equally, but differently. The trailer presents it as a comedy where you would get to know the lead character, but the film maintains a constant distance with its fly-on-the-wall style.
Jack: a top-notch political satire that is eerily more relevant now in the Sarah Palin/Tea Party era, when the voices in conservative politics are the ones making broad and cheap emotional appeals, drowning out any logic and reason. Robbins does a brilliant job acting and directing in the “Spinal Tap” style. Trailer reflects this pretty well.
Final Grade for Film: B
Trailer Accuracy: 75%
