This is one of my all-time favorite movies and should be mandatory viewing before you vote in the next election. It features tremendous acting in every role including Robert DeNiro as the ultimate political weapon and Denis Leary as “The Fad King” who steals every scene he’s in. But the real star turn here comes from Dustin Hoffman who loosely but brilliantly channels Robert Evans and orchestrates the entire fiasco. Truly a brilliant movie, filmed in a relatively short time and directed with a deft hand by Barry Levinson. BTW, I also agree there’s no difference between good and bad flan.
