The title of this film is misleading. It should have been titled "Bulworthless" or just plain "Bull". The premise is a good one: a politician with nothing to lose tells the truth and becomes an immediate success. Beatty's tasteless handling of the material, however, made it one of the most excruciatingly idiotic films I have ever sat through--an insult to its audience. How this film could have been nominated for anything appalls me. Has the Warren Beatty who starred in and directed "Reds" lost it?
