DVD Review: Bobby

I was so looking forward to this movie. Based on the trailers it looked so promising. A bunch of intersecting lives brought together at the Ambassador Hotel the night Bobby Kennedy is assassinated - really interesting right? I'm sorry to say, but this movie was the biggest letdown EVER.

When a movie like Catwoman comes out, everyone pretty much assumes it's going to be a piece of shix so when you see it and it sucks, you're not all that surprised. When a movie about a legendary politician, a member of America's royal family, is released, you expect greatness - or at least goodness. Bobby was terrible. There were too many plot lines to follow and the ones that were least interesting are the ones director Emilio Estevez spent the most time on and vice versa. Supposedly, Estevez worked for six years on this film. Someone please tell him not to bother in the future if this is any indication of what his hard work results in.

As a side note, Lindsey Lohan was also in this film and her performance was mediocre. She's definitely not laughable like, say, Mariah Carey, but she's not an Oscar winner yet either.
