The Story is basically about Williams, know as Dobbs, who is a comedian presenting his own Tv show. His fans, fed up with the current president and democartic parties, shouts out that he should run for president - as a joke. He takes it in to condisderation and runs for president. Dobbs takes the whole election thing very serious, until he is entered into the real presidential debate. He then sees the lighter side of things and mixes politics with comedy. A women who works for the company that collects the vote, finds out that Dobbs won only due to a computer glitch. See tells Dobbs this, but it is up to him to decided wether to stay president or tell the truth.
If youre looking for a night with the partner then this is a must buy, as you will be in stiches.
9/10 must see movie - It is slow at the begining but it does pick up halfway through the movie. I would not recomend this as a kids movie, as the film contains adult humour and poilitcal issues.
Advantages: Laugh out loud comedy fun for all ages Disadvantages: The song at the end is very long but worth it
I went and saw this dvd live at the o2 and laughed so hard, this man is a pure genius and is still going strong after so many years. His facial expressions are something that you cannot see properly when you see him live, but it was still a brilliant night out. His jokes are based on real life experiences and something that we can all relate to, We have all seen the people he talks about and have all at one time or another had a run in with one of them. A brilliant investment and a great night in for everyone, I defy anyone not to laugh out loud at him and his strange wacky brilliant comedy. A must for any die hard Lee Evan's fan ...
I do remember watching Rain Man at the cinema many years ago but I never had it in my DVD collection until just recently when I spotted it on offer at play.com.

For those who do not know, Rain Man tells the story of Charlie Babbitt (played by Tom Cruise) and his discovery of his brother Raymond (Dustin Hoffman) who he never knew existed until the death of their father. Charlie fell out with his dad many years ago but was still hoping to inherit more than three million dollars. This is until he discovers that he has only been left his father's old Buick Convertible and a few plants while the bulk of the estate has been left to an unknown beneficiary. A little ...
Advantages: Some of the best matches of all time, great interviews, interesting and insightful comments Disadvantages: Some fans might not enjoy the slower pace when compared with today's matches
Ric Flair is quite simply the best wrestler of the last 50 years, and here we have the Ultimate Ric Flair DVD, a set worthy of the man himself.
