Bill-412

Gratuitous affirmative action casting of the Washington Post reporter who asked the ridiculous questions. A fictional person, just a plot device to bring in a minority actor.

Gratuitous MeToo scene where the Washington Post reporter (not a fictional person but a fictional scene) scolds in the reporters kitchen about how "character matters" .

These preachy scenes are inappropriate for the movie and would not have occurred in real time, they just make the filmmakers and audience feel good about themselves by applying today's "standards" to the past. Very bad case of present-ism.

PS The famous picture on the boat was not published by the National Enquirer until three weeks after Hart quit, thus appropriately was not in the movie.

PS Hart seems to have resigned "too soon," much like Al Franken, and would have been elected easily if he had stayed in the race. Maybe he picks Gore as his VP and successor, partly to help win the south. Then there is not a whiff of Bill or Hilary. What a missed opportunity.

This is a very good movie, but the Amazon version of it is terrible. Do not rent it from Amazon.

There are long conversations held in german, and a few in french. But there are no subtitles provided for this, so the movie just kind of stops there. The plot developments provided by the conversations -- what are they saying to the mayor, where are the troops headed off to, how do the german officers interrelate -- are all unknown. Terrible.

Then, when the epilog material is to be provided, conveying interesting stories about the author and the manuscript, we see more than thirty seconds of just black screen, followed by a picture of a woman with no explanation as to who she is or why we should know her.

Just a terrible recording, go rent this somewhere else.

This one is truly bad. Like many comedians' subsequent stand up routines, this one is extremely thin on content. Take away all of the bedroom and bathroom jokes, there is about five minutes of actual comedy, and not too funny at that. I think I had one chuckle.

Add to this the endless giggling by the comedian at his own jokes, something he is far too old to keep doing, and this one is not worth your time.

Too bad, back-when he was a candidate to be an important player in the game, different enough from the standard fare, but he could not keep it going apparently. Spread too thin or not enough to start with? Doesn't matter, same fate as John Mullaney.
