The cast is impressive. The mere sight of Hopkins gives an idea of the quality of acting you're about to watch. Hollywood stars appear one after another and each new appearance is a moment of joy. The talk between Stone and Moore on getting old deserves to be seen- Moore seems to be talking about her own career and Stone seems to acknowledge bitterly this sad reality-the entertainment business, Hollywood itself, doesn't cherish "old" actresses.
Yet you will be deceived by the low amount of politics involved in the movie. You soon realize that the title was misleading. Politics are secondary. Even Bobby is secondary. We're lost in personal tragedies: the adultery, husbands desperately trying to support their wives- either alcoholic or neurotic, a marriage that looks more like a sacrifice.
It is not a bad movie as such but it doesn't deserve the title "Bobby". As long as you're merely expecting an entertainment movie, you could even say that it is a good one.
