Bad Bad Bad
Wow - was this bad. Unfocused and bad.
Estevez threw everything (and I do mean everything) against the wall to see what would stick. Nothing does.
CHADS. the Dodgers. VietNam. LSD. Adultery. Race relations. Unfulfilled marriages. Depression.
The depression comes from the hackneyed script (also by Estevez). It did for me. Bobby Kennedy is about the only thing that is the tertiary in this film. Even the clips of him campaigning don't fit in as they could or should. Let's not forget the historical facts that could have easily been worked into the story are so skewed and just plain made-up it's sad.
The acting is bland - for most of the parts. Is there anyone who said 'no' to a part in the movie? Oddly enough, Sharon Stone is one of the better people in it - and she is someone I think is normally talentless. But to be fair - she has little competition: Lindsay Lohan? Aston Kutcher? Demi Moore?? Yikes.
I didn't buy or rent - I saw it on cable, and the price was way to high.

Amazing cast
I loved this movie. it had the most amazing cast & I thought it was very well acted. I liked how they didn't have an actor portray Bobby but instead showed tv clips. I actually cried at the end. I would highly recommend this

INTERESTING AND MOVING 3 1/2 STARS!
'Bobby' deals with the lives of many people who were in the hotel where Robert Kennedy was shot in 1968. The film has several good performances and is broken into small stories about the various people at the hotel that day. I'm not sure how accurate this film is, but it works for the most part and it is somewhat emotion at the tragic finale.
Some of the stories are more interesting than others and it does seem to meander at time. Given the subject matter, the tone of the film seemed to be all over the place. It's definitely worth watching once.

Amazing Movie!
Emilio Estevez did a fantastic job in making this movie. And kudos to the stars in it who checked their egos at the door to take small parts in a movie with so many big names. It was very educational while being entertaining as well. It truly was a tribute to Bobby Kennedy. I love that they didn't show an actor portraying him and used so much authentic footage.

An all-star cast delivers a surprise gem
More than any film in recent memory, Bobby (Full Screen Edition) features an all-star cast that is second to none. Anthony Hopkins, Helen Hunt, Laurence Fishburne, William H. Macy, Demi Moore and Shia LaBeouf are just a few of the A-list stars that took a part in the making of an extraordinary film. Bobby (Full Screen Edition) is not about Senator Robert F. Kennedy. It is about those regular people who supported his improbable campaign for the Democratic nomination in 1968.
Everyone knows the tragic ending, but it is the time and setting that capture the imagination. This is as entertaining a period film as you're likely to find. One of the tragedie of the RFK assassination is the loss of hope to millions of Americans in their country. Richard Nixon ended up defeating Vice President Hubert Humphrey and the rest is history. Bobby (Full Screen Edition) does not seek to answer what might have been, but it shows glimpses of brilliance in featuring the chaotic America that eagerly anticipated an unconventional presidential race in 1968. Perhaps forty years later, we are not in an all-together different place as a nation and a people.
