This one of the best performances by Annette Bening! What a great part to act! Siskel and Ebert stated that Ms. Bening glows. I do not understand how someone can glow in a movie but she does.

My Top 55 Favorite Romantic Comedies (55 movies items)

"The President of the United States is a widower & eventually finds himself out in the field. The dating field as well as the political field. Now the Commander-In-Chief must find a way to mix the two fields together without having the two world's collide. A story of modern romance in the White House that does not involve an intern. Ah, only in the movies, I guess."
