Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
Liberal Hollywood may well be looking for a uniting, inspiring figure of principle in these troubled times. Bobby Kennedy is a dull choice.

Guardian
It's kind of a soapbox approach, but it actually works -- making Bobby just good enough to be worth a look, even if it could have been so much more.

You can understand why somebody would want to make a film about such a famous "lost moment" in American history, but this celebrity ensemble piece is misconceived and poorly managed.

Estevez is no Robert Altman but he does do a good job in mixing in archive footage of Bobby Kennedy in with the fictional action. The saccharine tone is in keeping with the fawning perspective of this rambling love letter from Emilio to Bobby.

Rating: 3/5 --
Using his haunting elegy for Martin Luther King over the final scene, Estevez makes most of what's gone before seem entertaining enough but fairly trivial. This is not, after all, Grand Hotel.

One wishes that Sirhan Sirhan didn't aim for Kennedy and instead set his sights on wiping out the entire lot of time-wasting characters.

The profound grip of Bobby is that it's about the murder of a dream, an eloquent requiem for what might have been, and a tragic reminder of how much that bullet cost.

Product Description:
Ex-marine criminal Tim Kearney has one chance at getting out of jail, by posing as a dead druglord named Bobby Z. If Tim can pull it off, he can get all the perks of Bobby's life. But with Bobby's identity also comes a list of many enemies.
Description by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment:
One Man. Two Lives. Countless Enemies.
Marked for death by a biker gang, ex-Marine convict Tim Kearney (Paul Walker, Into the Blue) just got one last chance to walk out of jail alive. A scheming DEA agent (Laurence Fishburne, Mission: Impossible III) needs somebody to impersonate recently deceased druglord Bobby Z... and Tim happens to be a dead ringer. It's a risky proposition, but if Tim plays his part right, he may be able to claim Bobby Z's smoking hot ex-girlfriend (Olivia Wilde, Alpha Dog) and a cool fortune in illegal profits. Unfortunately, taking on Bobby Z's name also means taking on his bloodthirsty enemies. Caught in the crossfire, Tim runs for his life as he tries to find a way out of his deadly masquerade. Also starring UFC Light Heavyweight Champ Chuck Liddell.
