Profile of Bulworth

Bulworth can be described as clever, witty, and biting. The plot revolves around a campaign, media satire, and politics. Its comic aspect comes from satire and irreverent humor. Bulworth's main genres are comedy, drama, and romance. In approach, it is realistic. It is set, at least in part, in an urban environment. Bulworth is located in Los Angeles. It takes place in the 1990s. The soundtrack is hip hop. Bulworth has received attention for being critically acclaimed. Note that it involves drugs/alcohol and profanity.

Summary of Bulworth

A surprisingly entertaining political comedy that features a funny and magnetic Beatty as the discouraged politician Bulworth, who has organized his own assassination but, after a three day bender of not sleeping, decides that he wants to live after all. He begins to tell the complete truth at all times, not caring about the potential repercussions of his offensive, yet honest, remarks. Oh yes, of course, and he starts rapping. It's a credit to Beatty that his change of heart seems so believable, and it is this performance that drives the film. All of the supporting players are solid as well, including Berry as a potential love interest who may have ulterior motives, and Platt, who is hysterical as a stressed-out, coked-up campaign aide. The film is an entertaining, well-paced romp that solidifies Beatty's presence as one of Hollywood's most vital and necessary voices.

Critics Reviews

USA Today

Warren Beatty's uproariously rude Bulworth is 90% triumph.

Variety

An uncommonly smart, sharp and irreverent American picture.
