The movie C Street begins with a rousing patriotic march, richly filmed in beautiful Virginia, and immediately takes us to Senior staffer Guy Poppet diligently working the reelection campaign of amicable Senator Cash Fallon. The good senator stakes his reputation on a new Healthcare bill and Poppet's continuing employment depends upon getting the senator elected and bill passed. Likable but lecherous Senator Fallon circles from scandal to scandal, each involving funny but hypocritical politicians that put Poppet in dicey situations, where success, even survival, seems futile.

After 49 minutes the story finally takes off to test Guy Poppet's character as he struggles to navigate Washington's corrupt political machine. Funny but larger than life characters are developed and followed to their logical conclusion. When a politician was asked if he gave a woman STD he replied, "I did not send flowers to anyone".
