Bobby

Emilio Estevez's eerily relevant, captivating, riveting, but somewhat uneven fictionalized story that follows a group of diverse people, including an adulterous manager (William H. Macy) cheating on his hairdresser wife (Sharon Stone) with an ambitious switchboard operator (Heather Graham), two retired employees (Anthony Hopkins and Harry Belafonte) playing chess in the lobby, an unhappy Manhattan stockbroker (Martin Sheen) vacationing with his artistic wife (Helen Hunt), a racist manager (Christian Slater) dealing with his kitchen staff (Laurence Fishburne, Freddy Rodriguez, and Jacob Vargas), an annoyed husband (Emilio Estevez) handling his alcoholic wife (Demi Moore) and her career as a lounge singer, a Czechoslovakian reporter (Svetlana Metkina) trying to get a 5-minute interview with the much loved senator, two campaign volunteers (Shia Lebeouf and Brian Geraghty) trying to score weed from an LSD-using drug dealer (Ashton Kutcher), and a bride-to-be (Lindsay Lohan) marrying her drafted groom (Elijah Wood), on a seemingly ordinary day that is full of hope and idealism at the Ambassador Hotel prior to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in June 1968 in California.
