Add a CommentLoved this romantic movie. Recommend it for those who have not seen it.
Michael Douglas did a good job and I have no complaint about him, but I think Martin Sheen looks more Presidencial.
A few years old, (filmed during the Clinton years), but a great story.
Wonderfully cast, with appealing leads.
Good story, good acting.
Aaron Sorkin at his best...fascinating to think that the set from this movie also got used in the West Wing series. It was fun to go back and watch this movie again after watching more of Aaron's work and to see the similarities. Great movie!
Fun love story, worth a quick watch.
I find this refreshing - NO VIOLENCE!!
