Notebook Reviews: THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT

Rob Reiner – 1995.

The American President is an excellent romantic comedy from director Rob Reiner and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin.

This politically charged pic has a superb cast – Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Martin Sheen, Michael J. Fox and others. Douglas brings a relaxed charm to proceedings as the U.S President and Sheen and Fox do particularly good supporting work in roles which predate their turns The West Wing and Spin City. 

A strong screenplay, well-played comedic moments – and a good old-fashioned feel-good ending make The American President recommended viewing.
