StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

dolanwargin The tone from scene to scene is a bit all over the place for the most part. The writing is mostly weak, yet the acting really hides MOST of it. Sharon Stone, Lawrence Fishburne, and Shia Lebouf are all standouts, not many people get their time to shine though, which is a bit sad with such a talented cast. A great handful of characters could have easily been cut.The soundtrack is great but at times feels like a bit much, the composed score on the other hand is really damn good. The editing and cinematography are also quite uneven.Overall, the movie is like I said "Uneven" it's not a complete mess, it's quite entertaining to watch, the ending is the best part of the film so I suggest sticking around with this one.

Kirpianuscus ...is the right word about this film who has three basic virtues - the touching story, the wise ideas and the great cast. it is not easy to say why this film is real special. maybe, for the change of perspective. about politic, about America and about the profound revolution changing a society. the only decent word - see it ! maybe, for discover a surprising director giving his film as pledge for values, as map of beautiful characters, as history lesson. and as useful support for reflection.

Robert Thompson Let me just preface this by saying I have never written a review for a movie on IMDb, and now I'm writing one for a movie that is six years old. That is how much Bobby, the man and the film, affected me.The only reason I decided to watch Bobby is because I have been researching and writing a book about my grandfather Robert E. Thompson, a Washington newsman. He was good friends with both Jack and Bobby Kennedy. So much so that Jack Kennedy made Pops his press secretary in 1958 when he ran for reelection to the Senate - two years before he became President - and in 1962 my grandfather, who had watched Bobby Kennedy's career flourish since they met in 1956 and was enamored by the man, published the first biography about him entitled 'Robert F. Kennedy: The Brother Within'. A year later he also witnessed the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald.In writing my book I became overly familiar with the lives of not just both Kennedy's but the entire family and in many respects, in the process of so much scholarly research, I had stopped thinking about the emotional resonance of their message - especially Bobby's, the last hope. It's not something I realized until I watched this film. I wont get into the nonsensical elements of the plot except to say that what at first seemed unnecessary became forgotten in the emotional weight of the last 15 minutes.To watch the man campaign, watch the hope of America brighten after Vietnam, Civil Rights and MLK's murder and then to see it all come crashing down in one moment with the music tugging at the appropriate heart strings and the added knowledge that my grandfather had seen something in the man long before many others had was too much for me, I have never cried because of a movie but I can honestly say I was moved to tears. There is a book about him appropriately titled The Last Campaign. He really was our last hope, at least in that era. Instead of the hope for America we got angry little Tricky Dick Nixon, Republican cronyism and the haunting legacy of Watergate. Needless to say in this era of so-called leaders like Newt Gingrich it is important to keep the message alive that Kennedy and King and others were trying to spread, a message of love. Especially as we live through the fiftieth anniversary of Jack Kennedy's Presidency. And in its own way this film does just that, I only wish I had seen it six years ago. Absolutely powerful.

Mike B I have mixed feelings about this movie. A lot of the scenes have nothing to do with Senator Kennedy - so the word fill-in comes to mind. However these scenes are well-done and keep you interested - Demie Moore as a drunk was quite hilarious. Perhaps the movie should have been called 'Ambassador Hotel'. For more about Senator Kennedy see a documentary on PBS. Also as I was watching the movie I felt it would have been more interesting to have a movie on the day after, rather than prior to the assassination. It must have been very traumatic for all those in the hotel who showed up for work the next day. The scenes at the end of the movie are riveting and heart-breaking.
