"The China Syndrome focuses on two journalists, Jane Fonda ("Georgia Rule") and Michael Douglas ("King of California"), who try to expose the dangers of a nuclear power plant in California.

Bobby plays to this nostalgic sensibility, though more in content than in form. Unlike Factory Girl, which was released the same year and concerns roughly the same time period, Estevez's film doesn't try to disguise itself as a product of the times it illustrates. Save for one scene which attempts to visualize an acid trip (which is, coincidentally, the film's worst segment, featuring Ashton Kutcher giving the film's worst performance) there are no true-to-the-period behind-the-camera histrionics. Instead, Estevez rips a few pages from the books of Robert Altman and Grand Hotel in an effort to define an era through a series of portraits all relating tangentia ... "

"the movie itself is a simple story of a week at berlins grand hotel in the but what makes it grand is it is a vehicle for the biggest box office idols of there day and they act perfectly together if the box office idols of today were given the same chance they would proberly step on each for the spotlight not in this film "
