Bobby (I) (2006)
7/10
Thought provoking and surprisingly uplifting
27 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
The draw of this movie would be its star-studded cast and with this cast you think you know what to expect, however this is not the case. they all deliver unique performances, even an unexpected performance from Lindsey Lohan.

Also there are fantastic moments as the director refers back to old footage of Robert Kennedy in a subtle but effective way.

I also have to credit the rest the cast Anthony Hopkins, who brings a classic feel to the film, Demi Moore, who brings showbiz and tragedy to her role, and Helen Hunt with Martin Sheen play the part of a perfect relationship.

The true moment of greatness is the ending (I mean this in a good way)at the end we see a connection between all the characters during Kennedy's assassination which makes you realise that we are all human beings and should treat each other equally, this is really summed up in the words of Robert Kennedy himself in the famous footage that concludes the film.

If I had to say anything bad about this film it would be the pace which is slow at times but it does not detract from the storyline and in some ways makes the ending that bit more powerful as you feel you have spent time with these characters which would be impossible to achieve with a short and snappy script.
