Name The American President (1995)
Genre Romantic Comedy
Star Rating 3 Stars

Review:
 
This Rob Riner film stars Michael Douglas, Annette Benning, Martin Sheen and Michael J. Fox.  Douglas plays the widower Chief Executive who falls for lovely lobbyist Benning.  As his ratings slip in the polls, the two enjoy mixing politics with late-night dinners. 
 
This was a cute, family comedy.

Main characters:
 
 
Annette Bening, Beau Billingslea, Michael Douglas, Richard Dreyfuss, Michael J. Fox, Anne Haney, Wendie Malick, Joshua Malina, Samantha Mathis,  David Paymer, Martin Sheen, Nina Siemaszko, Anna Deavere Smith, Gail Strickland, Shawna Waldron


Trivia:
 

The dialogue refers explicitly at one point to the films of Frank Capra. Capra's grandson, Frank Capra III, was first assistant director of this film.
