About this product

Product Information

Tim Robbins stars in his directorial debut as right-wing folksinger Bob Roberts in this satirical mock documentary. Roberts is joined on the Pennsylvania senatorial campaign trail by a British documentary filmmaker who offers insight into Roberts, his staff, and his supporters. Roberts is the anti-Bob Dylan, wowing his supporters with tunes such as "Times Are Changin' Back" and "Wall Street Rap" (which includes a video send-up of Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues"). With his clean-cut good looks and squeaky-clean image, Roberts appears as American as apple pie. Yet, like most politicians, he harbors some nasty secrets, including potential involvement in illegal drug trafficking and bank scandals. And like most politicians, he is a master at manipulating the media. Roberts's political trickery turns serious when an innocent man is accused of attempting to assassinate the candidate. Some of Hollywood's best appear as news anchors and reporters, including Susan Sarandon, James Spader, Peter Gallagher, and Helen Hunt. Gore Vidal is immensely believable as the liberal incumbent trying to keep his Senate seat, battling Robbins, who is the consummate politician of the 1990s: lots of fluff and not much substance.

Great movie on DVD, but would be netter in its original filmed format
I am disappointed that a, "Special Edition" of a movie on DVD does not present this 1992 movie is only presented in a Pan & Scan format. I would prefer the option to watch this movie in its original aspect ration

Time to watch Bob Roberts Again.
Imagine Donald Trump with a brain, and the ability to write and sing catchy folk-songs. A brilliant analysis of our times, but produced in 1992.

A Hidden Gem
Interesting political story that is reminiscent of "the Candidate" starring Robert Redford, but with a lot more humor.
