Movie Haiku:Rich can’t forgive the first 2 hours of utter tedium, but Jan appreciated BOBBY’s final moments when Bobby Kennedy is tragically assassinated after winning California’s 1968 Democratic Primary. We understand Estevez wanted to make a viewer-friendly epic, but he botched it. In his huge GRAND HOTEL-type cast, only Freddy Rodríguez shines.
