Review of The American President (1995) by Deb S — 24 Oct 2010
A very interesting combination of different genres; politics, romance, comedy, it's a very effective movie. Aaron Sorkin seems to know his politics, the man has brought us "The West Wing" for crying out loud, this movie was basically a test run for that series.
Michael Douglas gives a great performance and every supporting actor gives it their all and best that make this such a rich actors movie. The film tends to move slow at times, and you can tell by that in Rob Reiner's direction, he likes to take it easy when it could move a little faster.
The movie really captures it's fire for the last 45 minutes of the film. Great movie all around, it's a must see.
