More unrealistic than ENDGAME. Tremendous speeches.
Sean FennesseyDec 17, 2018im crying over both aaron sorkin’s writing ability and the dichotomy between this movie and our devastating reality

"...you cannot address crime prevention without getting rid of assault weapons and handguns. I consider them a threat to national security, and I will go door to door if I have to, but I'm gonna convince Americans that I'm right, and I'm gonna get the guns. We've got…

meganNov 15, 2025im BAAACK 😎 thank u to everyone who told me you can restrict your letterboxd comments to only people u follow - carley letterboxd will never die 🤩 anyways this movie is an aaron sorkin romcom (pre-west wing) where the president has to end the second date early to BOMB…
carley :)Dec 29, 2025"I went to Stanford, you blowhole!" I miss Rob Reiner. I somewhat miss Aaron Sorkin. I especially miss when political films still believed in idealism. My favorite TV show of all time is the West Wing, which should come as a not-so-big surprise. The American President…

I watched this movie for one of my college history classes a while back and didn’t think it was going to be all that interesting, but I was definitely proved wrong. It was interesting to see them combine both politics and love to make a really good romance. Impressive. 8.5/10
CUTE and heartwarming with actual political issues being brought up. Micheal Douglas is the president I want to see in America because he just outplayed every single actor I’ve seen portray a lot president as well as real life presidents.

A really charming and enchanting look into the date life of a POTUS. Very 90s. Cast delivers and is deep. Wish Bening had different hair.
rewatched this movie a week ago… it’s enjoyable and fun to see these actors when they were young back in the day

It’s unfair to compare this to “The West Wing”, but it feels more like a pilot episode than a movie.
Second to none, without a doubt! Still relevant, nothing has changed… How’s that for quality?
