Wag the Dog is an incredibly witty movie, a rare blend of cynicism, humour, and intelligence. The movie is about a spin doctor working for the Presidential re-election campaign, who must create a situation that will distract the public from the President's scandalous affairs.

Review of the film. ... ``Why does a dog wag its tail?'' Brean asks at one point. ``Because the dog is smarter than the tail. If the tail was smarter, it would wag the dog.'' In the Breanian universe, the tail is smarter, and we, dear readers, are invited to be the dogs.

Wag the Dog is satire, no question about it -- the wonderful cast positively revels in the absurdness of it all. But I gotta wonder how many people will leave the theater not realizing that the object of ridicule here is not politicians or the media but the American people. ... ; top critic on Movie Review Query Engine;

Written by Hilary Henkin and David Mamet, "Wag the Dog" is a broad satire that sometimes gets broad enough to remind you of something like "Dr. Strangelove," which is pretty broad indeed. Like Kubrick did with "Strangelove," Levinson is sharply skewering the dangerous truth-twisting of bureaucratic archetypes.
