Amazon.com essential video:
What sounds like the high-concept romantic comedy pitch from hell--widower president falls for smart lobbyist while the world watches--is actually intelligent, charming, touching, and quite funny. Granted, it's wish fulfillment all the way (when was the last time you saw a president who was truly presidential?), but in the capable hands of writer Aaron Sorkin (TV's Sports Night) and director Rob Reiner, The American President is incredibly enjoyable entertainment with quite a few ideas about both romance and the government. Michael Douglas stars as the president, who after three years in office starts thinking about the possibility of dating. When he auspiciously encounters cutthroat environmental lobbyist Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening), sparks begin to crackle and the two begin a tentative but heartfelt romance. Of course, his job gets in the way--their first kiss is interrupted by a Libyan bombing--but darn it if these two kids aren't going to try and make it work! However, they hadn't counted on the president's Republican antagonist (Richard Dreyfuss), who starts carping about family values. The predictable plot--Douglas finally goes to bat for his lady and his country--is leavened by Sorkin's wonderful, snappy dialogue and a light touch from the usually subtle-as-a-sledgehammer Reiner. Both manage to create a believable White House-office atmosphere (with a crack staff including Martin Sheen, Michael J. Fox, Anna Deavere Smith, and Samantha Mathis) as well as a plausible and funny dating scenario. The true success of the movie, though, rides squarely on Douglas and Bening; this is unequivocally Douglas's best comedic performance (ergo his best performance, period) and Bening, usually such a good bad girl, takes a standard career-woman role and fleshes it out magnificently. You can see in an instant why Douglas would fall for her. One of the best unsung romantic comedies of the '90s. --Mark Englehart

The American President directed Rob Reiner is a very interesting look at a fictional president and the woman he falls in love with during his reign in the White House. Michael Douglas and Annette Bening are wonderful actors and their chemistry is darn near flawless. I like this film but the many times I have watched it, I feel there's something missing and I am not sure what it is, maybe the storyline could've been a little meatier. Give this clean cut film a try.

OK its been a lot of years since the movie came out. The script was supposed to be apolitical and the movie would have been just another light-hearted romantic comedy ala Clark Gable- Claudette Colbert if it hadn't of been for the antics of then President Bill Clinton.
It really bothered the Clintonistas that "a vast right-wing conspiracy" was making such a big thing of his adultery with a woman about half his age. So this movie (which is about a WIDOWED president's love affair with ... Read More

I do prefer the plastic cases - you know, the ones that are plastic on both sides. This one has the cardboard front.
