Renewed relevance

When this film was released it was the beginning of the Clinton era and felt a little dated satirizing the new right crazies that rose to prominence in the Reagen era.

Six years of Dubya and it looks more and more like an accurate prediction of the future.

Tim Robbins would do well to make a follow up with Lukas Hart III gaining a top job as a national security advisor in the Bush administration.

Bob of course has just become a vacuuous, sychophantic arse licker to Bush, who thinks is very important but commands no respect or influence what so ever.

In fact Robbins could call the film Tony Blair.
