starstarstarstar
Packaged as a rollicking political comedy, writer-director Barry Levinson's much-ballyhooed reunion with Robin Williams, his GOOD MORNING VIETNAM (1987) and TOYS (1992) star, wobbles unsteadily between broad humor and paranoid thrills. The result is a bland muddle, told — for no apparent reason — in flashback by wheelchair-bound Jack Menken (Christopher Walken).
