This feel-good political movie is ridiculously preposterous so you have to be ready to go along with the story....knowing it is so far-fetched it's laughable (someone faking being the President of the United States and getting away with it).
There's also the normal Liberal slant, of course. The real-life Democrats in the film are all good guys while the lone real-life Republican pictured, Sen. Alan Simpson, comes on like a bad guy with his comments.
Kevin Kline plays a likable lead character. He's good at that sort of thing. Sigourney Weaver plays a softer-than-normal character, which is good to see (for a change). The story only has a few short lulls. The movie certainly has a good and deep cast - just check the credits.
If you are one of these people who get annoyed at holes in a story, stay away from this film because it's full of them. It is a farce, and you just have to play along with it.
