- Synopsis:
- Written, directed and starring Tim Robbins, Bob Robert is a satirical, eye-opening, documentary-like journey into the world of American politics - where the message of the politician isn't necessarily confined to speeches and TV appearances. This is the country where anything is possible, where even a catchy tune can catapult a politician to the heights of the greasy pole. Teaming up with a folk-singer, one hopeful candidate for the US Senate makes a record that spins faster than any spin doctor! Soon they are climbing to the top of the hit parade, proving that image, a good tune and a bit of pure schmaltz mean more today than substance and detail.

Too close to the truth - Bob Roberts review by CP Customer
Knowing the events that occurred 2 years after the films release, the Pennsylvania elections of '94, this film is very prophetic. An excellent mock-umentarty.
