CGiii Comment
The gay son needs a kick up the arse, followed by a good slap...the poor little rich kid routine wins no sympathy...with or without the puppy dog eyes.
Hinds' womanizing President is hysterical. Burstyn's Grannie is a drunk. And, Sigourney has more than a hint of the Lady McBeth about her...
The writing is fast and bitchy - the story is uncomfortably familiar...which woman in the world of politics has aspirations to be President?!?
Taken with a huge pinch of salt...a thoroughly enjoyable escapade into the world of factional/fictional politics...the Clintons loved it!
