ReviewsVariety - ...Douglas and Bening are more than up to the challenge, delivering winning turns..., Sight and Sound - ...[A] very funny film....[Bening] displays a sort of twinkly dynamism that no other actress in Hollywood can quite match..., USA Today - ...A super cast injects it with Teddy Roosevelt vitality..., Rolling Stone - ...An exuberant romantic comedy...
Additional InformationAndrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas) is a handsome, youthful widower raising a teenage daughter. He also just happens to be the president of the United States of America, and a very popular one at that. Unfortunately, he's also quite lonely, and the life of a president leaves little time for dating. But when he meets luminous lobbyist Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening), he's instantly smitten and impulsively (and somewhat awkwardly) asks her out to a state dinner. Shocked and highly uncertain of what she's getting into, Sydney accepts his invitation, and the courting process begins--to the unrelenting delight of the media. The chief executive's protective staff, however, isn't so sure the romance is a good thing, particularly when political paparazzi capture Sydney spending the night in the presidential bedroom. While intriguing to the press, the affair spells trouble in the form of Republican presidential hopeful Bob Rumson (Richard Dreyfuss), who uses the romance to attack Shepherd's supposed lack of family values and moral instincts. Rumson's ploy works--Shepherd's popularity plummets, weakening his reelection bid, his hand on Capitol Hill, and ultimately threatening his relationship with Sydney. If Shepherd salvages his political career, will it be at the expense of Sydney's love

  • Vintage Sorkin

    I'm a huge Aaron Sorkin fan, so naturally this was a must-have for my collection. However, it's a bit unnerving now to see Martin Sheen as mere chief of staff to Michael Douglas's President when he went on to star in the wonderful West Wing, where he had the top job. And no-one else who plays the US President can convince me, not even Harrison Ford in Air Force One. Sorkin's snappy dialogue and political situations foretell his later screenplay successes and he well deserves all the Emmys and other awards that are coming his way.

  • High feel good factor.

    Worth a second viewing. High on feel good factor but not sentimental. Few seconds disc skipping but at that price not a problem. Did not spoil the enjoyment.

  • The American President

    As a massive West Wing fan, a little late to the table, I was eager to watch this Aaron Sorkin film. It didn't disappoint, I very much enjoyed the film, which was more romance based and less politics than TWW. Great to see many familiar TWW faces. Excellent quality dvd.

    An oldie but a goodie. doesn't seem to have aged at all. Fast moving political romance with plenty of humour. The disk was delivered fast and free. What more could you want?

  • I'm sure you'll find it's a keeper.

    There's something about the way the subject matter is relayed to the viewer that is clever and refreshing. If you like the actors in this film and maybe even if you don't I'm sure you'll be glad you watched it; at least once.
