What Parents Need to Know
About Man of the Year
Parents need to know that teens will likely be interested in this movie thanks to relentless promotion and its connection to Daily Show host Jon Stewart. Unfortunately, it just isn't that funny -- it could have been an amusing political commentary, but it missed the mark. Also, there are crude jokes galore (remember, it stars Robin Williams) about diapers, farts, "inhaling," pictures of naked women, and sex ("I did not have sex with that woman ... I wanted to, but I didn't").

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether a comedian could really run for president and win. If so, who would be a good candidate? What makes someone qualified to be president? Is it OK to have a president who isn't exactly a model of morality? What specific people and issues is the movie spoofing? What issues should be brought up in a presidential candidacy? Where does your family stand on topical issues like abortion, hydrogen fuel, war, and legal marijuana?

I lost six brain cells watching this.
This movie is not ok for kids 10 and under. i watched this with my 9 year old brother and he did not understand it to much, showing that its not ok for him.but im 12 and i saw that there was a lot of drug use and crude sexual references. this movie should only be for 11 and over.

A MAJOR disappointment
Honestly this was such a disappointment my friends and I had to make dirty jokes not about the movie just so we wouldnt be totally diappointed. This was not the comedy that had been promised by all the preveiws. This "comedy" turned abruptly into a poorly made action, goverment conspiracy movie. It was lame and slow moving. The fact that it was supposed to be funny i tought was laughable. I think that was the only funny part about it, was that it wasnt a movie you could put under any category at all and that the jokes were lame, ones i would tell if i were 8 years old.

Surprise violence frightens 14 year old girls
I brought my daughter's friends to this for a bday party, and we almost left during the scene where a woman was stalked and attacked in her apartment. I thought it was going to be a comedy! That, plus several sexual innuendo and off color jokes made me apologize to all the girls and the mom's for bringing the girls to the movie. Very disappointing. Good for adults, only

this was so lame!
This movie was crude and boring (what a combination!). Williams is usually funny but he wasn't given a chance to shine here. Please don't subject your family to this mess. Try R/V instead. It was much funnier, and not as potty-mouthed.

Better than I thought
We were in the mood for a light comedy and this is what we got. I thought Robin Williams lines were funny, but he talks so fast that it's hard to hear them all! I also liked that they added the "conspiracy" element to it. I also liked that the political comments weren't skewed to one political viewpoint; I wasn't offended. They did a good job with that. I felt it was worth seeing.
