First Lady

This little indie film was cute. Exactly as I expected it to be. Laughed out loud a few times. If you want sex, drugs, profanity then this sweet little film isn't for you. Love Nancy Stafford and Corbin Bernsen together. It's low budget, not a multi million dollar block buster but I liked it! Thanks for making a movie I can take my grandma to and not be embarrassed!

This movie did not disappoint. It was a sweet, romantic comedy that I could have taken the whole family to see. I really enjoyed Nancy Stafford and Corbin Bernson's performances. How I wish more movies were made like this sweet one!

There is no shortage of decent films with distinguished actors concerning the President of the United States, set in the White House and Capitol Building, such as 'Murder at 1600' (Wesley Snipes), 'Salt' (Angelina Jolie), 'Olympus has Fallen' (Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman), 'White House Down' (Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx) and 'The American President' (Michael Douglas and Annette Bening).

When you add illustrious television series such as 'The West Wing' (Martin Sheen), 'Veep' (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and 'Designated Survivor' (Keifer Sutherland) to this list it amazes me that the US government can function at all with all the camera crews in those buildings!

Unfortunately for 'First Lady', the above set a high standard that this little film simply cannot compete with. The characters are vaguely drawn, the script is insipid and the actors barely make it out of first gear at any time. The most powerful man in the world wanders around like a lost sheep, the only three-dimensional character is a newsreader and there is a complete absence of sexual chemistry (this is a romance, yes?) between the two lead actors.

The White House security staff are portrayed as idiots, the secret service staff are portrayed as idiots and guess what the White House administrative staff are portrayed as!

Next time the producers should pick slightly more original locations and characters and not try to revisit ground that has been covered many times before and much more effectively.

Entertaining and wholesome movie. The producers and directors of this will probably do much better next time. They show great promise but could have improved by reviewing and editing before releasing. Fewer characters and story lines would have been a big improvement. But all in all it was worth seeing.

A delightful film and just what we need in today's over-thought world. Great to see Corbin Bernson and Nancy Stafford back on the screen. Tanya Christiansen is a hoot!
