If you're a nostalgic liberal, this film is for you. It takes place at the Ambassador Hotel, which once stood on Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles, on the day of the California primary election of 1968.

One thing the film doesn't tell you is that the Democrats were not the only ones holding a post-election party that night. In another ballroom, Republicans celebrating Max Rafferty's primary victory over incumbent Senator Tom Kuchel, a liberal Republican, in the US Senate race. Rafferty, who was California's Superintendent of Public Instruction, was backed by the party's conservative wing. However, although the Rafferty event took place in the same building, the movie makes no mention of it.

By the way, the Ambassador Hotel's cafeteria, which is accurately portrayed in the film, featured some of the best hamburgers in Los Angeles.

"However, although the Rafferty event took place in the same building, the movie makes no mention of it."

Then the movie would be called "Bobby & Max."

[Libertarianize the GOP]

Sorry for the wrong ping!

[wku man]

Another Kennedy movie. Yawn.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Publius]

And Max Rafferty was defeated by Alan Cranston.

Does Frodo play RFK and Lohan the dutiful life?

[Dont Mention the War]

director/writer Emilio Estevez

What more need be said? Run! Run far away!

[Silly]

But if you didn't want tomato, you had to tell them at least three times or they'd put it on your burger.

[Our man in washington]

Interesting. I figured that:

1. The movie would be an homage to Bobby Kennedy,

2. Medved would trash it for that reason.

I'm not sure the real Bobby Kennedy would be that popular with today's liberals. After all, he was a top official in an administration that massively cut tax rates and thought communism was evil.

However, a lot of leftists proejct their own views on the Kennedys to create this idea of a sexy exuberant form of leftism. It's rather annoying, and I'd hate to sit through a whole movie that makes Bobby Kennedy out to be some fallen perfect leader.

[raybbr]

Look at the cast list.

A virtual Who's Who of libs.

[FReepapalooza]

I certainly am not a nostalgic liberal, so I will probably skip this rendition of RFK. I wish someone would put out a truthful movie about JFK and RFK because I believe the liberals would run the other way if they found out, (pathetic how history gets re-written and twisted), how conservative these two were in comparison to the Demoncrat Party today.

[Just mythoughts]

Hmmmm, since Hillry seeks to reenact that year of 1968 in a couple of years, I expect her campaign to make good use of keywords used by 'Bobby'. Such as 'we can do it better'.

Got to love the moderate elites who just know by their very being they are smarter and better than those commoners.

[DoughtyOne]

When you look at the Kennedy family, it's amazing what they represent and how much they are revered by the left in the United States.

It's a shame Robert Kennedy was shot. It was a despicable act. I hardly think of it as 'one of the most fateful days in American history.'

[duckman]

I don't see Roosevelt Brown in the cast list. Also is Sirhan played by a Russian?

[Brad from Tennessee]

A former Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy told me that when the LAPD contacted Kennedy's campaign about providing security for Senator Kennedy a campaign staffer said, "We don't want any pigs over here."

[Ghengis]

The Kennedy Myth still has magic for shallow thinkers. Oh well.

[snarks_when_bored]

Who played the role of Marilyn Monroe's corpse?

[Waco]

One of our luckier nights IMHO.

[Let's Roll]

Does the movie make the point that Bobby's murderer was a muslim?

[Sonora]

The film was reviewed by our local guy - it's boring, basically tells about the boring people that were there working, primarily. If it were not for the newsreels of "Bobby" it would not really be about "Bobby" at all.

I don't get it - why would anyone want to know anything about the people that happened to be working at the hotel at the time? If the film was some insightful stuff about "Bobby" it may be worth viewing, but save your money on this one.
