an enjoyable comedy when politics was less heavy, 2 January 2002
10/10
Author: aq from Vancouver, BC

This is an interesting romantic comedy with political overtones. The romance and comedy are deftly played and the politics are played satirically. When compared to recent romantic comedy / poliical movies (e.g. the American President), this movie's ideals can still be considered relevant today, although the ways and means of campaign financing have changed greatly.
