It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Interesting how every comment to date (and not many at that) is ridiculously positive about this movie.What is to like? Short answer: nothing at all. A bunch of web cams installed at a boring party would produce the same as this effort.There is a LOT of drinking in this movie. Personally I don't drink and don't admire those that do. Alcohol is the stupid drug and this movie is proof.The movie is unedited, people -- completely without editing. The Sundancers call this innovative. You decide.I think editing is probably the most unappreciated aspect of a movie. We all know that we need a good story, good acting, good directing, good photography and music that compliments all of these. But without editing you still end up with a steaming pile of cow dung.This one steams. Avoid if you can.

Just saw this movie at Sundance -- what a cool idea! I can't believe they made this movie in just one night with 20 cameras & no script -- it's awesome! Great cast, great performances -- lots of laughs -- really fun to watch --

Man of the Year was a great ride. I was captivated from start to finish. The bird's-eye view of each character's storyline was cutting edge and enabled the audience to feel like a fly on the wall observing the sordid lives of the elite party-goers. Loved the fact that it was shot in twelve hours with most of the dialogue unscripted. "Man's" fast pace kept the audience laughing and empathizing with all of the characters, especially John Ritter. The maid was hysterical. This movie is a must see.

This is one unique movie. The use of split screens throughout makes for non stop action that keeps the viewer's eyes glued to the screen. An interesting premise that's fully realized. It's truly unbelievable that the entire dialogue was improvised...it sounds as if it was shot from a script. The actors are uniformly excellent. Hats off to John Ritter for a sensitive, groundbreaking performance. And Lin Shaye is laugh-out-loud funny, too.
