The American President

Synopsis:

What if the world's most powerful leader were a widower whose wife had died shortly before he was elected? What if he got lonely, meets a beautiful lobbyist and began to court her right in the middle of his presidency? Should he have the right to pursue a private life just like any other citizen?

Such is the compelling dilemma President Andrew Shepherd (Douglas, The In-Laws, Traffic) faces, as he finds a way to fulfill his responsibilities, as well as the needs of Sydney Wade (Bening, Being Julia, American Beauty), the woman he loves.

Written and directed by the people who gave us "A Few Good Men", this highly engaging romantic comedy promises to be "... a marvellous treat ... with a happy feel good warmth..." (Johnathan Ross, News Of The World).
