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.

Cast your vote for scandalous fun with this liberating laugh-fest that CNN called "utterly brilliant and totally entertaining... one of the best films in years!" Believing his career is over, Senator Jay Bulworth (Beatty) takes out an enormous insurance policy and a contract on his own life. But his impending death fills him with an outrageous desire to break the rules and to tell it like it is. Suddenly the Senator is the surprise political favorite and falls hopelessly in love with Nina (Berry), a beautiful, young activist from the inner city. Now that Bulworth has found a new reason to live, he must also find the hit man who's out to kill him!
