The American President

This is a skilfully directed and performed piece of leftist propaganda that holds its punches until the film is 80% complete. Then Rob Reiner unloads on you in a presidential speech that contains all the extreme and often crude left wing views that dominate contemporary Hollywood. The huge talents of Bening and Douglas are wasted. The film's writer deserves a special raspberry award for muddying an otherwise unbelievable script. All in all, this film is just the ticket for Michael Moore fans. For people even slightly higher on the intellectual ladder, The American President is a disappointing waste of time.

My dad wanted this movie and I easily found it for a good price on Amazon

The American President directed Rob Reiner is a very interesting look at a fictional president and the woman he falls in love with during his reign in the White House. Michael Douglas and Annette Bening are wonderful actors and their chemistry is darn near flawless. I like this film but the many times I have watched it, I feel there's something missing and I am not sure what it is, maybe the storyline could've been a little meatier. Give this clean cut film a try.

This is by far one of my all time favorite movies...I had it on VHS and wore it out!! I just love this movie..Thanks

I do prefer the plastic cases - you know, the ones that are plastic on both sides. This one has the cardboard front.
