A smug liberal circle-jerk masquerading as a rom-com. Pass.

This is a great romantic movie with an interesting viewpoint. It puts a spin on the average love story by creating unique obstacles that could only be experienced by the president. I could see how it could get dull if someone was expecting a usual romantic comedy but I think president meets lobbyist definitely beats boy meets girl.

Wayyyyy too Democrat. It gives off the impression that the only good president is a Dem. Which isn't a horrible thought I suppose, because there have been some fantastic Dems, but also some fantastic GOPs. I just don't like the utterly slanted feel of the politics in this film.

Funny romantic comedy about a fictional U.S. President who finds himself getting involved with a lobbyist

I can't stand Sorkin's writing. Every conversation ends with a smarmy witticism and like The West Wing, the entire point is "OH MY GOD THOSE REPUBLICANS SURE GOT OWNED!" p.s. not a Republican

Now this guy is good. I mean, he's no Millard Fillmore, but then again, who is?

It's nothing less than a typical romcom with presidency as its gimmick. Though said gimmick makes it FAR worse than it should have been because it just ends up being painfully obnoxious pandering to the liberals and making republicans look like complete asshats. Geez guys, you should keep your shitty propaganda OUT of your shitty romcoms. Seriously. Your bad writing doesn't help either.
