What critics compared Bob Roberts to
As well as the aforementioned Strangelove and Armageddon , Don’t Look Up also has echoes of Deep Impact , Network , Wag the Dog , Bob Roberts and Seeking a Friend For the End of the World, as banging their heads against a brick wall of bureaucracy – and a divided public, some of whom believe it all to be a massive conspiracy theory – takes its toll on the protagonists.
…geek intensity, like as the obsessed fan in Bob Roberts and the morality-challenged computer nerd in Enemy of the State -- studio films, sure, but in supporting roles he had a lot more latitude: to be weird, to be prickly, to be unlikable.
In this case, it's John Silver (Brian Murray, Bob Roberts) and a motley crew of cutthroat alien pirates.
