Wag The Dog
Description
Just a few days before the last president election, a sex scandal happens to an important candidate - the Washinton D.C spin-doctor. He tries his best to take citizen's attention away from that scandal by making up a imaginary war with Albania, hoping the media will concentrate on this instead. He hires a Hollywood producer to create a fake context of war

Twisty and flat-out hilarious.
January 26, 2006
Lazily assembled by director Levinson, it slides into a series of soft, extended skits on engineering a media war, not helped by several badly handled leaps in the story.

Feels tossed-off and casual in the best way.

The movie is intelligent, but it's also a lot of fun.
March 30, 2009
Anyone who would be inherently interested in this kind of sendup is unlikely to be surprised by anything in this film -- overall it feels like a trifle, if an entertaining one.

'Wag the Dog,' a movie that's fun to see more than once, comes across as a bitingly funny satire of politics, the media and show business.
March 30, 2009
Hilary Henkin and David Mamet's script is gleefully hyperbolic without ever straying from its political target.

A wicked smart satire on the interlocking worlds of politics and show business, Wag the Dog confirms every awful thought you've ever had about media manipulation and the gullibility of the American public.
March 30, 2009
Smart political satire from director Barry Levinson.
April 12, 2002
Amusing as it is, Wag The Dog does what it purports to sat irize -- the bark is real but the teeth aren't.

Entertaining, creepily resonant political comedy.

The pacing is crisp, the dialogue quippy and fast, the tone arch but energetic.
