Wag the Dog is a brilliant satire of the American political system with enough realism to make it plausible. It speaks the strongest to people who already have a visceral loathing of the American democratic process (not how it was in 1789 but how it is now). They see a degraded and ignorant public easily duped by politicians who are no more than habitual liars who will say anything to get elected but lack any idealism whatsoever. Intelligent, funny, but also very depressing, 9/10.

Great Movie.
Rarely can film satire make you laugh and be worried about the future at the same time. Levinson's film does just that, with a great cast and great writing, this film succeeds.

good flick all around. sad slice of life. too bad the author couldn't be honest and stand up when he was acted point blank on several occasions if he wrote the book and he lied and said no. kinda makes him like one of the characters doesn't it?

Witty, clever, hilarious. Makes you think a little...and Dustin Hoffman is just golden.
