Review of The American President (1995) by Dan S — 01 Dec 2009
A decent but flawed and overrated look on the idea of a widower President trying his chances at love while he's still in office during the start of his re-election campaign. While Douglas and Bening are both very, very good, the movie is completely undermined by a weak and artificial last ten minutes that rely on melodrama and a cheesy, unfinished ending to help the viewer feel at ease with everything.
A good idea, and fairly well executed and casted by Reiner, but I just wish he resolved the whole re-election campaign a lot of the movie was structured around.
