Bobby
(USA, 2006, 112 minutes)
The lives of a number of people intertwine at Los Angeles’ Ambassador Hotel on June 4, 1968 — the day presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy was murdered at its pantry. Amiable but flawed all-star mosaic melodrama whose elegy for a fallen politician never meshes with the Grand Hotel-styled soap opera at its heart; the cast, most of them not given enough to do but still game, end up making it seem a better film than it actually is.
The Weinstein Company and Bold Films present a Michel Litvak production. Starring Harry Belafonte, Joy Bryant, Nick Cannon, Emilio Estevez, Laurence Fishburne, Brian Geraghty, Heather Graham, Anthony Hopkins, Helen Hunt, Joshua Jackson, David Krumholtz, Ashton Kutcher, Shia LaBeouf, Lindsay Lohan, William H. Macy, Svetlana Metkina, Demi Moore, Freddy Rodriguez, Martin Sheen, Christian Slater, Sharon Stone, Jacob Vargas, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Elijah Wood. Directed and written by Emilio Estevez; produced by Michel Litvak, Edward Bass, Holly Wiersma; music by Mark Isham; director of photography (Technicolor CFI, Panavision), Michael Barrett; production designer, Patti Podesta; costume designer, Julie Weiss; film editor, Richard Chew.
