Critic Reviews of "Wag The Dog"
Chicago ReaderMarch 30, 2009Hilary Henkin and David Mamet's script is gleefully hyperbolic without ever straying from its political target.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006Lazily 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.
Globe and MailApril 12, 2002Amusing as it is, Wag The Dog does what it purports to sat irize -- the bark is real but the teeth aren't.
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 14, 2001A 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.
VarietyFebruary 14, 2001The pacing is crisp, the dialogue quippy and fast, the tone arch but energetic.
ReelTalk Movie ReviewsSeptember 25, 2011'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.
Common Sense MediaDecember 18, 2010Entertaining, creepily resonant political comedy.
TV GuideMarch 30, 2009Anyone 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.
