Frost/Nixon

A waste of $25 million.

Boring and not overly interesting, but well done nonetheless.

Very pretentious

Silly, slight, presentational, sitcommy, superficial, formulaic, and lame - all running themes in films written by Peter Morgan, it would seem. Perhaps there could be a way to make this story seaworthy, but Morgan and the predictably toothless Ron Howard are not the men for the job. This film needed to take a huge step either in the direction of comedy or drama, because where it stands it's either a farcically insubstantial drama or a woefully unfunny comedy. Frank Langella is the man, though.

Martin Sheen is superb and underrated here

Ron Howard should stick to biopics and fact based films about history. You know what's going to happen and yet you are still glued to the screen through the last frame.

Never really grabbed me like I hoped it might, watchable, but nothing special.

A very good film. As others have pointed out, Frank Langella is sensational as Richard Nixon. Michael Sheen is also quite good as David Frost. I wasn't alive during these times, and I imagine it is heavily dramatized, but hey, it's a movie. Very engaging, well-paced, and Nixon's "confession" speech in the last interview was very moving. One of the year's best films for sure.

Frost remains a one-dimensional "performer". He gets the confession only because Nixon wants to give it. Still, a fresh take on Nixon.

As a journalist I can appreciate it, but beyond that this film brings little else to the table.

It took a while for me to get into this. The first half of the movie was pretty boring until they got to the actual interview. When they did, it was great. I wasn't a big fan of the Nixon character though -- and it looks like I'm in the minority on that. I found his voice to be fake and irritating and I didn't really see the resemblance to Nixon. Buuuuut, I guess that's just me. Overall, it was decent and worth watching once.

Highly watchable version of the stage play. Not brilliant but elevated by Frank Langella's great performance as Nixon.

Absolutely amazing. Before seeing this, I knew pretty much nothing about the watergate scandal or the frost/nixon interviews. This movie was an extremely enlightening and entertaining window into this part of history. And the cast is perfect. Everyone pulls their weight and becomes an intriguing part of the movie.
