Witty, wise, and idealized political romance.

With great looks, a dandy supporting cast, a zinger-filled screenplay by Aaron Sorkin and Mr. Douglas twinkling merrily in the Oval Office, The American President is sunny enough to make the real Presidency pale by comparison.

The American President will make you laugh and make you smile. But it probably won't make you change your vote.

A genial and glossy middle-brow rom/com blended together with corny Capra-like political drama.

Part romantic comedy, part Capra-corny political drama, this movie exudes so much sympathy, it sweats.
February 13, 2001
Genial middlebrow fare that coasts a long way on the charm of its two stars.
May 04, 2011
Light, fluffy romantic comedy, well acted by Michael Douglas.

Sorkin starts his West Wing warm-up with a winning political rom-com.

Frothy.

A potentially good adult romance is undone by a preachy left-wing agenda.

Genial and entertaining if not notably inspired.
