REVIEWS:
"Rob Reiner's 1995 film 'The American President' is one of
my favorite movies. .... This is a fresh, funny, smart,
sassy, intelligent film, no matter if it's your first
time seeing it, or your 100th."
-- David Von Pein; November 2003
"The Presidency receives such a fabulous face lift from
Rob Reiner's glossy new romantic comedy that Mr. Douglas
can probably expect write-in votes a year from now. ....
With great looks, a dandy supporting cast, a zinger-filled
screenplay by Aaron Sorkin and Mr. Douglas twinkling merrily
in the Oval Office, 'The American President' is sunny enough
to make the real Presidency pale by comparison."
-- Excerpt from The New York Times; November 17, 1995
"It is hard to make a good love story, harder to make a
good comedy and harder still to make an intelligent film
about politics. Rob Reiner's 'The American President'
cheerfully does all three. .... Watching 'The American
President,' I felt respect for the craft that went into
it: the flawless re-creation of the physical world of
the White House, the smart and accurate dialogue, the
manipulation of the love story to tug our heartstrings. ....
This is a great entertainment -- one of the year's best films."
-- Roger Ebert; November 17, 1995
