"Two
enthusiastic thumbs up! Very smart, very funny." -Siskel &
Ebert
Boy
meets girl - and the press tracks their every move, rivals fire
broadsides and a Presidency with a 64% popularity rating plunges
to 41% in seven weeks. When you're the President, everyone knows
where you live. Michael Douglas portrays the widower Chief Executive
who falls for a lobbyist (Annette Bening), then freefalls in the
polls in this winning romantic comedy directed by Rob Reiner. Bustling
staff members (Martin Sheen, Michael J. fox, David Paymer, Anna
Devere Smith), a sneering opponenet (Richard Dreyfuss), state dinners,
formal protocol, informal moments, global crises - all come into
focus as Reiner and his stars explore the balance between private
romance and public Presidency. |

REVIEW :: WARNING -- POSSIBLE SPOILERS |
|
| A
typical early disk from Warner Brothers, this disk is adequate.
There are some extra features, although not a great amount. However,
it must be pointed out that this film wasn't exactly a huge hit
and therefore may not have deserved the 'deluxe treatment.'
The
print quality of this dvd is very good and it is in widescreen.
The bulk of the special features are text pages that give information
about the actors in the film and about the physical oval office.
In
short, the film itself looks and sounds very good, but the extras
are nothing to get excited about. If you like the movie, it is
definitly worth the price (currently at $15 or less) because the
disk will never wear out and you can watch it in it's proper aspect
ratio.
