"Yes, Mr. President..."      

THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT (PG-13) 

Director Rob Reiner's really getting good at the When Harry Met Sally type of movie (by the way, he directed When Harry Met Sally).  The American President is a light, entertaining romantic comedy set in our very own White House.  The film stars Michael Douglas and Annette Bening, who both turn in strong performances in their respective roles.  What's the story about?  Let's put it this way:

Okay, okay, you've got questions...just go and watch the movie.  It won't hurt, I promise...

IMPRESSIONS

I didn't mention this but: Martin Sheen, Michael J. Fox, and Richard Dreyfuss are also in this film.  Oooh, now you really want to see it, right?

Do you think: they'll ever come out with a movie called The American Vice President?  Nah, that would be too boring....

christinagolden@hotmail.com gives this movie  stars: "I loved the movie! I'm only 15, and so most people would assume I don't really care about politics, but this movie really kinda made it interesting. The relationship between the characters of Michael Douglas and Annette Bening is just amazing - it proves that love will withstand anything, even the disapproval of the U.S.A. Michael Douglas also does a great job playing the role of the president. I think we oughtta have a president like "Andrew Shepherd."" (8/23/98)

cus55@yahoo.com gives this movie  stars: "What made this film so interesting is that it managed to concentrate on the troubles of politics and the effect a sexual relationship could have on the President's political regime without being too soppy. However, it was sweet, and highly enjoyable. The blend of humour was delivered well by the two stars." (7/3/98)

ccasti2@uic.edu gives this film  stars: "I was assigned to view this movie for a project on my political science class and I tried looking up some more information about the movie, but did not find any. It was a very interesting film." (11/11/97)

Mary gives this film  stars: "I found it to be very romantic and well put together! It was interesting how you can have troubles but love shines through in the end! I would suggest this movie to any romantic movie fan." (2/25/97)

pdwilson@webtv.net gives this movie  stars: "This was a very enjoyable and entertaining movie. Michael Douglas seems to do drama better than comedy, but Annette Bening more than made up for it in this movie. Still, these two witty actors could have been used better - I would have liked to have seen more done with the repartee between them, as we saw between Douglas and Kathleen Turner in Romancing the Stone." (1/2/97)
