The American President [WS] [DVD] [1995]

The American president starring Michael Douglas and Annette Benning. They have great chemistry on film together Michael Douglas plays the president who happens to be a widower with a twelve-year-old daughter. He gets to meet Annette bening who is employed to get the president to change his mind about fossil fuel. They grow to like each other and I start a relationship. Which in this day and age make the American public think the president's not doing his job. does a great supporting cast and I says well Martin Sheen, Michael j.fox, these to play an important role along with everybody else in this movie. if anybody wants to see a good film American president is that that's well worth the watch.

The American President scores with its two leads, down to earth nature, and overall sense of humor.

Still one of my favorite political satire films ever made. Grant it, a film like this with it's clean edges and polish almost seem laughable compared today's political scene. However it still harkens back to a time where there was just a bit more shimmer to the oval office. Couple this with stellar performances by Michael Douglas and Annette Benning and you've got a film that's hard to beat.

The film is a rom-com between a lobbyist and the US president. The romantic thread follows generally the familiar rom-com arc, but in the context of a presidential administration pursuing policy initiatives independently, and at times at odds with the lobbyists interest. The more engaging aspect are the ancillary scenes where we see policy making amidst a blossoming romance and the president. Michael J. Fox, Martin Sheen, and Michael Douglas are in their prime, and superb in these roles. It's easy to see how The West Wing is it's proud offspring.

Back in the day, when American presidency was looked at, a little like the British and their monarchy; widower president finds a girlfriend whose political ideology clashes with his. Definitely an entertaining evening - for both sides - to follow where love leads.

My dad was very happy Best Buy had this movie in stock. He has already watched it.

Annette Benning is a very good looking woman in this movie. She is also a great actor. Michael Douglas plays a great US President

One of the best movies I've ever seen, Aaa+5 stars. Michael Douglas is awesome
