Bobby Emilio Estevez 2006 US 1st time; 1 sitting; big screenDecent. A bit melodramatic at times, and the orchestral score could've used some work or just not been used all together. The period soundtrack was nice though. Not as effective as it could have been, and ultimately not really Oscar matierial IMO. Also thoroughly unoriginal considering this is a multi-character drama set in Los Angeles where the climax is a catastrophic event which brings all the characters together.

Bobby(2006/Emilio Estevez) [First Viewing] Several different characters inhabit the hotel where Robert Kennedy was assassinated.Throughout, you can tell Estevez was never apart of this generation, but secretly wished to be his whole life. The large ensemble is impressive, but it gives the film a feeling of a TV movie. Estevez is not a bad director, but he lacks in the writing department. At times, it's as if there are lines purely devoted out of nowhere to the reestablishment time and place. "Have you ever seen "Grand Hotel?", asks Anthony Hopkins, "No, but I've seen 'Bonnie & Clyde'" responds a character. Give me a break! However, the film has it's moments.
