What sounds like a 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 ... Read more

Makes me happy every time!
This is an all time favorite of mine and absolutely guaranteed to lift my spirits each time I watch it.

Michael Douglas plays somewhat against his usual type as a likeable, widowed, well-meaning single father who is also the President of the United States, Andrew Shepherd. He becomes romantically interested in an environmental lobbyist, Sidney Ellen Wade (Annette Benning) which turns out to cause a lot of problems for both of them.

These two high-powered actors manage to humanize their characters into ordinary, likable people who are just trying to fall in love despite unbelievable opulence of surroundings, ugly political maneuvering and living inside a media fishbowl of publicity. Along the way, there are plenty of funny, heartwarming moments including a couple of very funny telephone calls. (Imagine what YOU would do if you suddenly received a call from someone who claimed to be the President of the United States)

David Paymer, Michael J. Fox and Martin Sheen are excellent in their supporting roles as advisors to the President and Shawna Waldron is wonderful as the 1st daughter.

If you love humorous dialog, beautiful, nearly fairy-tale settings and happy endings, be sure to see this movie. You won't be disappointed.

A fireball of fun from the start
Who would think that widower Andrew Sheppard's (Michael Douglas)decision to date Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening) would cause such a scandal? Normally that wouldn't make every news reporter jump. Except when Andrew Sheppard happens to be the President of the United States and Sydney Ellen Wade is a liberal lobbyist. And did I mention that it is an election year?

As President Sheppard's character ratings falling from personal best 68% to the low 40's, his interests become torn between the crime bill (his top priority) and Sydney's-passing Energy Bill 455. And it is up to the White House staff members A.J. MacInnerey (Martin Sheen), Lewis Rothschild (Michael J. Fox), Leon Kodak (David Paymer), Robin McCall(Anna Deavere Smith) to help him maintain focus against his rival, Bob Rumson (Richard Dreyfuss)

Filled with humor and unforgettable moments, you will not be able to watch The American President just once. The word 'charming' does not do enough justice to this wonderful piece of work.

Just Average...
I found this film to be just average. The story is nice, but a little unbelievable and very predictable. These films are usually my type, but for some reason, this one didn't do anything for me.

ALL GLORY TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!!!
TAKE THAT YOU BABY EATING REPUBLICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAME GOES TO YOU THIRD PARTY MEMBERS, ESPECIALLY YOU NUTTY, COMMUNIST LIBERATARIANS AND 'INDEPENDENT' VOTERS, MOST OF WHOM MOST LIKELY EAT BABIES AS WELL!!!!!!!! HURRAY FOR ENVIRONMENTALISM!!!!!!!!! HURRAY FOR HUGE GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!! HURRAY FOR HIGH TAXES!!!!!!! HURRAY FOR THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT!!!!!!

I love the President!
I absolutely loved "The American President"! I thought all characters and the plot was great, as well as being written with humour and intelligence! Great acting, and wow is Michael Douglass a good president, not to mention a hunk! I'd certainly vote for him! ... Read more

Refreshing family entertainment!
Man I never thought those Little Giants would have a chance! I really feel that the cast is superb, even if actors/actresses such as Shawna Waldron (Becky O'Shea), Devon Sawa (Junior Floyd), and Sam Horrigan (Spike) appear to be too old for Pop Warner League football (but each plays his/her part magnificently!). With that aside, this is a movie I would recommend to anyone. It is a cute movie and provides many lessons for kids as they grow to become adults. Great cameos by Madden, Entman, Smith, Brown, and Smith from the NFL!

A Cool sports comedy with Love and Camaraderie
This is indeed a wholesome family entertainment which I enjoyed really most.Little Giants would have a chance because of their camaraderie and oneness.I really feel that the cast is superb like Shawna Waldron (Becky O'Shea), Devon Sawa (Junior Floyd), and Sam Horrigan (Spike). This is a movie I would recommend to anyone. It is a cute movie and provides many lessons for kids as they grow to become adults.A lesson of friendship, respect,love,adventure, sportsmanship, wit,etc. All in one movie which I learn to love it.

Great show for kids
We watched this movie and The Mighty Ducks this weekend and both have similar story themes about the under-dogs and both are great movies for kids. Worth while renting or buying. We rented it.

#52 is a hunk
hey everyone, i'm glad you enjoyed the movie, we worked long and hard at it that summer of 94, but it was soo much fun... i'm now 19 years old and i really don't look like i did when i was 10 but i still like talkin about it, and i'll never forget the kids i worked with to make this movie great!

I could not wait for the dvd
I rented this movie for my 6 year old son -wow! I guess I enjoyed it just like he did. I had wanted to by the vhs a while ago but something kept telling me to wait a little and that the dvd would come sooner or later. Well, here it is! This is a great movie for kids but beware- you might get hooked- don't say I did't tell you. Get it now! ... Read more

Fun and Funny, good for the whole family
One of Harland Williams best films (hard to find a bad film of his). The only bad part of the film is that it isn't out on dvd.
The basic plot is a con man is released from prison and runs into a couple thugs he owes money to. A series of events leads him to hide out as the new Headmistress of an all girls prep school, while he trys to con the schools main benefactor out of half a million dollars.
Shawna Waldron is excellent as Beryl, a neglected teenage girl who thinks her father has forgotten her. The interaction between her and Harland is very well done.
The jokes in the movie are clean and humorous. Definitely a movie worth owning.

Great Disney Movie!
I have seen this movie many times on disney and I fell in love with it. It was so funny. It's one of my favorite Disney shows. It moves right along. The plot has no questions. The main character did the best job as the new headmistress. The girls in this movie are hot! They were so 'a person you don't want to get on the bad side with' it was funny. You got to see this movie!

It's all in GOOD FUN, darling!
This is the funniest movie... ever! Our favorite lines include, "Like a monster truck!" "Oh! It's so dark. Light bulb out! S.O.S. Help." "Nasty man..." "I do have eight diplomas you know." "We'll take your tartn tutus and pound you straight into the mud. Now hop on your little big wheels. Off, Fly away, like leaves in the wind. Off, you little knobgoblins!" "She'll get over it" "Ha ha ha, don't touch me! oh, well you can touch me." "As they say in chuckles, princeton, ta ta, flee flee! "
