One Pargraph Review: Bobby

Unlike Russ, I came into this movie with high expectations. It seemed like a great cast and a great historical event to examine through film. Also, with all the interwoven plot lines I expected to enjoy the Altman-esk quality. Well, I did enjoy the interwoven plots, but this film was no Altman. It was so overly dramatic it was almost unbearable. I got so tired of the monologues that about half way through the movie I wanted to hit the fast forward button. Given my respect for Robert Kennedy, I felt myself cruel every time I thought "just get to the assassination already!"
