Bobby

Now that is the most hilarious part of this film!! You should just watch it for that if nothing else, Ashton Kutcher's character, stoned, arguing with an orange!
I also agree, wow this film has a lot of cameo's, and from a hell of a lot of A listers too, it was like a game or some joke, u know 'how many A list actors and actresses can u cram into a film!?'.....'Eh, a lot!', though it does work, the varieties of actors adds to the needed diversity to the complex selection of characters in the film, all of whom play their parts well. I love Elijah Wood and so im gonna enjoy any film he is in, and he was great in this, even if his character was a little plain, he made it work! and when he gets shot in the head at the end (dont panic) I was like "No! Mr Frodo!" lol!!
I think that the speech-over (I spose u cant really call it a voice over, as it was a speech) at the end was amazing! It made the end really moving and u almost sat there in awe with a sense of history and real-life all at once! I also like the way in which they showed real clips from the past of Kennedy and over lapped them with shots from the actual film, I thought that was a really unique and clever idea, it added new layers to an already incredible, tragic tale!
It is such a dramatic story, it kinda makes u realise how everyone who was around the time of Kennedy can remember exactly where they were when he was shot, wouldnt u!

As everyone knows, 'Bobby' tells the tale of the Ambassador Hotel in the hours leading up to the assassination of Robert F Kennedy. Emilio Estevez had been working on this film for years before getting the green light and funding to get it made. Although the characters involved are fictional aside from Kennedy, it flows well, and the characters are believable. You even like the great majority of them.
The cast list is incredible, for a film that surely had a modest budget. Sharon Stone is brilliant as a outwardly cheery beautician, who deals with a terrible blow. Demi Moore is fantastic as boozy lounge singer Virginia Fallon, in fact in the only film role I've seen her in and thought she was a good actress. Anthony Hopkins, Harry Belafonte, William H Macy, Martin Sheen, Heather Graham, Joy Bryant, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joshua Jackson, Nick Cannon, Elijah Wood, Laurence Fishburne, Christian Slater, Shia LeBeouf and even Ashton Kutcher give excellent performances. Special recognition for me goes to Helen Hunt, who always gives ace performances and is spot on as the self conscious socialite. Freddy Rodriguez also is awesome, being the films most likeable character altogether, probably along with Sharon Stone's. Although originally you dislike Demi Moore, you come to feel for her as the film progresses. Emilio Estevez even makes an appearance as her emasculated husband, dutifully dancing to whatever tune she plays, even though he doesn't want to.
My only gripe with the film is Lindsay Lohan. Sure, she's currently a big name, but in this, she just doesn't cut it. In her scenes with Sharon Stone, she just looked in awe of the fact that she's in front of Sharon Stone. And the rest of her work in the film is equally shoddy. I would have preferred Scarlett Johansson, or Thora Birch. Hell, even Mena Suvari would have been better. She does convince in the kitchen scene at the end, but only because she's not talking.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this movie to everyone. Even just watching the trailer gives me goosebumps. A brilliant piece of work. Shame it got ignored by the Oscars, but it goes to prove that not all Oscar winners are therefore the best films.

Emilio Estevez has pulled it off!! I can say without a doubt that i walked out of Bobby extremely pleased with the result which he produced along with the extroadinary stellar cast including excellent performances by Helen Hunt, William H Macy, Sharon Stone, Joshua Jackson, Shia LaBeuoff and even Lindsay Lohan! The list goes on and on!
The story of Robert 'Bobby' F Kennedy is a story which i actually haven't heard alot about so the whole premise of the Ambassador Hotel was completely new and i felt refreshed with the result!
In my eyes 'Bobby' is a definite contender for the Oscars and i will be very angry if this doesn't at least get nominated for an award!
2007 has already been a great year for movies and im sure there will be lots more to come!

Bobby is good but not brilliant, some of the stories are a little undercooked, but at the same time it does get the mood and hope of the time spot on. Senator Robert Kennedy's death leaves you feeling down at the end as he did seem like the real deal, and if nothing else it good to know a movie has been made about him as his ideals were simillar to his more well known brother JFK's.
Now to the cast, everyone was brilliant in the small roles they had, but the intresting ones were Christian Slater (Needs to make more Mainstrem Movies), Joshua Jackson (Very Good) Lawrence Fishburne and Freddy Rodriguez. Intresting one time watch, but wont be to evriones taste.

Sorry, but I do not agree. It was boring, and without any real central theme. A film flooded with too many major league stars, and not focusing on either the script or the characters. It leaves a lot of empty shells, characters that either need filling in, or that you simply do not care enough about. Perhaps, due to the theme, people feel the need to praise this film, but honestly, despite the content, the film is not that good.
