I can't explain why this is one of my favorite movies (perhaps my favorite - even a decade later), but something about The American President really made me laugh and touched my heart - two things I love in a movie.
The cast of The American President is absolutely amazing. There's not a single actor in this movie who isn't wonderful. As I watched it, I kept being surprised by everyone I saw in the movie. This movie is so quirky and funny and treats the the president like a normal guy, which you rarely see in movies. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to go through a campaign like this in real life, but I think The American President did a good job of showing what it might be like.
