Summary: Truth of Politics
Review: This movie was funny but also truthful which is more important then comedy. A pervious reviewer said it was demeaning towards blacks but I think it shows how the politians exploit them with the campaign lies. The movie is about how Politians fianace thier campains to stay in office. They only care about who gives them thier money and thats who they please. This is the sad truth about american politics that all americans should be aware of. In one statement from the movie as all the truth in it: rich people stayed on top because they divided black people from white people. I liked this film because of the truth behind it the comedy was an added bonus

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the funniest movies I've ever seen...
Review: Bulworth is an incredibly well written, well acted movie, and most of all, entertaining movie. It's one of those few movies that makes you laugh out loud at the situations the characters are involved in and the irony instead of a bunch of jokes, punch lines or slapstick. I've seen this movie three times and I laughed just as hard each time. If you consider yourself to be very politically correct, you will not like this movie, but if you have a wicked sense of humor and an appreciation for something that breaks the rules of society, this movie is for you!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: An insult
Review: As a black person I found this movie insulting and demeaning. Not only did it stereotype inner-city black youths but also the black family and black people as a whole. I tried to look for the humor in this movie but I failed to see it. I tried to look for reasoning behind it but I still don't have any answers. This movie was sappy, poorly written, and frankly, quite boring. The only reason I continued to watch it was because (1) I paid for it and (2) I thought it would get better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fabulous
Review: Warren Beatty is always terrific.His movies always have some kind of a seal-of-quality thing about them.The more Warren Beatty sticks his nose in a movie,the better that movie gets.So when you have a movie that is directed,produced,starring and co-written by him,you're in for some REAL fun.

Pros:

*Warrren Beatty was everything imaginable:convincing,courageous,FUNNY(I mean,he was REALLY funny),cool and hip,and everything you want.

*Halle Berry was brilliant too.

*Paul Sorvino and Oliver Platt added even more excellence and humour.

*The plot and script were smart and well-written.

*Everything screams perfection:acting,plot,music,cinematography and even backgrounds.

Cons:

*None,though I still didn't get the ending.

The bottomline:one of the coolest comedies in years and definitely THE finest political comedy you could see.Do NOT miss it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Honest Assessment
Review: I believe Bullworth to be the funniest political film ever. It's a priceless look at where we are headed if we don't get money out of politics. Beatty is a hoot! I loved it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Rap it away!
Review: Not a bad movie if you like irony, some rap, and don't ask for perfection. The storyline gets hazy somewhere in the middle, but the rapped communication holds strong. What I liked about this movie is that it tells you what you most likely don't want to hear. It's a comedy, and if you're a Halle Berry fan, it's a must see. If instead you're a Warren Beatty fan, it will put a smile on your face!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Unwatchably Terrible
Review: Those who gave positive reviews to this movie are big ignoramuses! This movie may be among the worst movies ever made! The attempted jokes are bafflingly unfunny, the plot is insulting, the acting is terrible, the directing is worse, and most of all, IT'S BORING AS ALL GET-UP! Holy cow is this movie boring! I guess it wouldn't be boring if it didn't think it was so smart. That's what's so obnoxious about it. It really thinks it's a good movie. The people who fell for it are quite gullible. There's nothing more embarrassing than someone who acts smart and isn't--the movie acts smart and it certainly isn't.

One of the most dreadful two hours of my life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cold, hard truth; fantasy; perhaps unattainable
Review: How wonderful it would be if a politician had the intestinal fortitude to do what Bulworth did...alas, the system simply does not allow such things to occur. Money is the key...ever read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair? The more things change, the more they stay the same...only the dollar amounts change. Enough philosophy...this film is a non-partisan fantasy...it shows what COULD happen, if only the common people had the common sense to see things as they are. Truly an inspiring and heart-wrenching work of art.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Movie satire at it's best!
Review: It's possible older viewers will find this movie's course language and rap type music (Beatty ain't no rap artist, but he's got rythem) somewhat offensive. Senator Bulworth alternatly makes you squirm and laugh, and the plot keeps you guessing what next? The supporting actors are all well chosen, and despite the crudetity (no nuditdty however) I think the movie has amazing grace! If you subscribe to the notion movie making is less art than commerce, then this is movie satire at it's best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent political satire
Review: This movie was an outstanding view of the corrupt political agenda that abounds in America today. A previous reviewer said African-American's should be insulted that Beatty's character only wanted to be around blacks after his nervous breakdown. Well, it may be insulting, but not for black people. It is reality and it is about time somebody was not only wise enough to see it but brave enough to say it.
