 Mindblowing November 18, 2008
I was blown away by this movie. It focuses on the day Bobby Kennedy was shot in the kitchen, as well as some innocent bystanders. This movie does something different. Instead of just telling the story, it focuses on various people who were there and traces their experiences from the moment they step into the hotel until they all come together at the fateful moment in the hotel kitchen. There is an allstar cast and they all bring their "A" game. I absolutely love this movie and the soundtrack is great. My favorite part is at the end when Bobby Kennedy's famous "Mindless Menace of Violence" speech is played with music. This is a moving, fairly historically accurate movie that shows how one moment affected so many people. I highly recommend this movie to anyone and everyone. People who consider themselves history buffs would especially love this movie.
Emilio captures the moment November 4, 2008
"Bobby"really gets to you,especailly at the end.How everything would have changed if Kennedy would have listened,and didn't go through the Kitchen at the Hotel.Estevez doesn't bring that up in the film.
The cast is great,epecially Moore and Sharon Stone.Both should have been nomatated for Oscars,along with Emilio Estevez for directing "Bobby."
when the world was young ... October 20, 2008
A little seen movie that hasn't received the acclaim that it truly deserves is Bobby, the story of the lives of several characters on that fateful day in 1968 when Robert Kennedy was assassinated. Emilio Estevez, who proves that he should have been a writer,directed this all-star cast that takes place in Los Angeles at the Ambassador Hotel. I was a little apprehensive about seeing the film because I'm usually leery of seeing movies with so many big-names attached but this movie really seemed to drive home that the fascination with this era is more than just about the Kennedys. It's the clothes, cars, the people, the changing lives, the after-effect of the civil rights movements, everything. It's about a golden era that no longer exists.
I thought at times, that some of the characters weren't necessarily, such as the shia labeouf character who gets high on lsd. But I get that's an important part of the message that Estevez is trying to drive home: when we were young, we were inspired to do it all, we believed that we could but we can't have it all. Not for long but for a little awhile. The best performances in the movie came from Sharon Stone, is sensational as a hairdresser and Laurence Fishbourne, as a black cook whose sensibility is passed onto the workers he cooks for. Other notable
performances include Christian Slater and Demi Moore. But it's not about
the names, it's about the lives they lead, when history was made.
 This Shot at RFK Backfired July 7, 2008

What a stinker!
One stereotyped 60's character after another is paraded onto a boring movie.
RFK is portrayed as the second coming (wait...wasn't JFK the 2nd coming...too bad Marilyn is dead, only she would be sure to know) and the answer to everythingthat Estevez and Papa Sheen and the rest of the Hollywood activist set believe is wrong with america. Gratuitous scenes of RFK with black people,but the movie gives patronizing roles to its black characters and has then live out stereotypes (typical white pinkolibs, eh?)
This is just another tribute to the overidealized 60s.
 Barely worth 2 stars July 2, 2008

I should remove another star for changing the name of the busboy who cradled Kennedy in death. A real boring dud.
