But here we have Douglas as the president, Sheen as his aid, Michael J. The cast in this film is one to be envied by almost everyone except Oliver Stone and Robert Altman who seem to get everyone to do their films. It is funny, well acted, and it is written with a good ear. Okay, that's out of the way, let's talk about the film itself. And guess what, guns do kill people, so to have an issue at hand here that deals with gun control is applaudable. Well you know what, it's about the president of the United States of America, there's going to be a bit of poiltics in it. This movie works inspite of people's claims that it is too political. And now we have a political drama/comedy. Horror? How about Misery? Courtroom drama was awesome with A Few Good Men. Music was brilliant with This is Spinal Tap. Is there a genre that Rob Reiner can't work in and make successful? He captured comedy beautifully with The Sure Thing.
