The review of this Movie prepared by BethG
Michael Douglas plays a liberal American President who has a romance with the very butch Annette Bening (she cut off her hair for the part). But the evil right wingers attack the President for having a butch girlfriend, and he finds it hard to push his liberal agenda while sleeping with her at the same time.
