| Relatively formulaic; a sort of marriage between The Prisoner of Zenda and Mr. Smith goes to Washington. Unfortunately, it features a boringly predictable political message. Once again, the Republican president is both a bad president and a bad man. This kind of thing is getting pretty tedious. Overall, the film is raised by Kline�s performance. He plays both the President and the innocent, upstanding man who replaces him after a serious accident. He is very convincing as both, but the title character is really a neat fellow. Very, very likeable, and a real good fellow. Other then that, there is really nothing memorable here. A decent amount of chemistry between Weaver and Kline, and some fun cameos as well. Ving Rhames is solid, as usual. And Ben Kingsley is a very interesting character who plays almost no role in the film. A thoroughly forgettable film, really. "He's not a President. He's an ordinary person. I can kill an ordinary person." |
