Film Description: This earnest, intelligent, and well-written romantic comedy is enjoyable and optimistic in classic Hollywood style, even if its idealism doesn't seem quite so credible against the cynical political backdrop of the Nineties. President Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas), an unabashedly liberal Democrat, is just gearing up for re-election when he meets an attractive and sharp environmental lobbyist named Sydney Wade (Annette Bening). The two fall in love and the President must soon deal with the political repercussions (Sydney is trying to get legislation through Congress), as well as the cynical machinations of Republican opponent Senator Bob Rumson (Richard Dreyfuss), who attempts to paint Sydney as a radical and use "family values" rhetoric to smear Shepherd. With the attacks affecting his standings in the all-important polls, and his love's legislation causing him headaches in the Capitol, Shepherd must decide whether he can risk continuing his relationship. A rich supporting cast, solid characterizations by Douglas and Bening, and an articulate approach make this an appealing, if not particularly weighty, study of the tensions between public and private life.

He Just Did - tonight :) #DNC2012

[MrWhipple42]

Cutting fossil fuel consumption and gun confiscation. This movie is a left-winger's wet dream.

[Cweisman24]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Tolerance is far better than intolerance.

[661prometheus]

sooo almost 20 years later.... still nothing...

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Also, an Oscar winning screenwriter wrote it as well. So he's accomplished way more than we have.

[J Sauvageot]

Global warming, blah, blah, blah.. banning assault weapons, blah, blah, blah. Yep, he's a democrat.

It's been five long years, and what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the government hole...

[deGooder]

Do tell, why exactly do civilians need assualt rifles? And please don't try telling it's me so they can fight off the world's strongest military when the evil Federal government comes to take their children as you vainly attempt to delusionally compare present day Untied States to the exceptional circumstances of Europe over 60 years ago.

[Leroy Johnson]

Obviously an idiot, progressive liberal wrote this screenplay. Guns presenting a national threat to security? In this country? Really?! I wonder what all the murdered Soviet citizens and the murdered Jews would have to say about that if they could speak! They were disarmed by Stalin and Hitler, and then systematically murdered! Thank God this is bullshit fiction, and that we have the 2nd amendment! A (so-called progressive) government against the people will never get the guns!

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

You can dislike him for his beliefs, but anybody who wishes ill on anybody else is a scumbag. So congratulations, scumbag.
