Michael Douglas turns in one of his best performances as President Andrew Shepard in this clever blend of drama, romance, and comedy. The film depicts the president and the people who surround him as real human beings - not just icons. The acting is top-notch, most notably from Douglas, Annette Bening, Martin Sheen, and Michael J. Fox. Marc Shaiman's quietly patriotic and nostalgic score further heightens the quality of the film. This is one to treasure. 8/10
