Emilio Estevez’s Bobby is, in its way, one of the most ambitious American films within recent memory. This is so despite the movie’s confined setting and very restricted time frame.

Here’s the short version: If you liked Christopher Guest’s other films—Waiting For Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind—you’ll probably like this too. Same kind of movie, same actors, same improvised-with-guidance technique, in a comedy about actors in a low-budget production who become obsessed with Oscar buzz. Go, see, enjoy.
