About this movie

Tom Dobbs is a popular satirical comedian with his own TV show. When the presidential election approaches, he decides to become an independent candidate in order to gain more material and be able to mock the candidates up-close. To his, as well as a lot of peoples' surprise, he actually becomes elected to president. In reality, however, the whole thing was caused by a major glitch in the new electronic voting system that was used. The executives of the company that designed it, Delacroy, both want to keep the truth a secret, as it will mean the end of the company. One of its lead programmers, Eleanor Green, decides to tell the truth. The Delacroy executives become determined to stop her at all costs.

Though made in 2006, it was clearly ahead of itself in terms of themes, issues, humor, suspense and joy. A surprisingly potent combination driven by an All Star cast, a Great Director and some delicious performances and flights of imagination and inspiration.Dark and Light, Legitimacy and Illegitimacy, Humor and Horror, see for yourself....Rob from Rhodesia Island
