Written and directed by Emilio Estevez, "Bobby" is impressive in many aspects. The first one is the excellent screenplay, showing the lives of more than twenty characters in an objective way in less than two hours, recalling the style of Robert Altman inclusive the camera work. The story is directed and related to the North America history and culture, but is very well developed in a perfect language. The stars are certainly the second point that calls attention. There are very few movies with the participation of such number of great actors and actresses, and most of them in lead roles, split very fairly. The music score, with classics from the 60's, is the third point that deserves to be highlighted.Although I do fear that this movie may not hit home for some people, it is definitely going to leave a lasting impression on the majority who see it. It's a movie that presents a magnificent cast, superb directing, and flawless scriptwriting.

This movie is so great,it was even advertised at the SuperCuts where I get my haircut. Don't miss it!

Snappy dialog, awesome performances by all three leads and a great plot contribute to the fun of this send up on film noir. Kilmer actually succeeds in stealing some scenes from Downey Jr. (which is unusual) with his over the top character 'Gay Perry'. A great fun ride of a film.

I've never laughed so much and been so engrossed in a film in a long time. Between the rapid-fire dialogue and the briskly unfolding mystery, this flick keeps you enthralled.

I didn't know what to expect from this star-studded picture, but if you're looking for a biopic of RFK, this is not it. But the intertwined stories of various characters on the fateful day work nicely to provide a compelling background story that is emotionally moving. The use of historical footage is well done and doesn't detract or stand out too unusually. I couldn't keep dry eyes at the end and of note in the extras is a panel interview with various people who were at the hotel at that time.
