Directed by
Rob Reiner, this is a charming film about the US President (
Michael Douglas) attempting to balance the challenges of his job and his personal life.
Annette Bening plays an environmental lobbyist who he falls in love with.
Martin Sheen and
Michael J. Fox play members of the presidential staff. And
Richard Dreyfuss is the political opponent who tries to build a scandal around the new couple and their unexpected relationship.
It works as drama and romance, with flashes of comedy. It’s also gently political and makes you wish that politics was that simple and idealistic today.
All of the leads are on top form, and Douglas demonstrates once again that he's more versatile than people might think.
