sales-282 Just like the recent Hitchcock disaster, this was yet another movie trying to depict the man as a total imbecile and the wife as all the brains behind everything. Totally over simplistic, totally stereotypical , all the clichés and the undercurrent of sexist man hating misandry underneath it all, as we always get with the radically liberal Hollywood. Reagan according to this was a totally clueless puppet who did nothing and never put nay thought into anything. His wife was really the president and knew everything about everything. Identical to Hitchcock movie where Helen Mirren strangled the life out of the whole thing and even claimed to strangle Janet leigh too. Utter poppycock, Hitchcock was a genius, period.

RonaldReaganIsMyHero This "biography" is a complete sham with fictionalized events and such.Just about everything was made up in the name of entertainment, as opposed to the facts! Fact: Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War! Fact: Ronald Reagan helped to create over 20 million high paying jobs! Fact: Ronald Reagan was awarded an Honorary Knight of the British Empire! Fact: Ronald Reagan was awarded Japan's highest award for bravery! Fact: Ronald Reagan was named the greatest president of all time by the Gallup organization. Fact: Ronald Reagan also served honorably in the United States Army Air Force during World War II! That is why he is the hero among tens of millions of Americans who admire this great president!Everything else is pure fiction, folks!This movie presents nothing but fictionalized accounts of his presidency. In fact, the only thing the producers did for actual accuracy was to contact his library for costumes and such!But, alas, people didn't like Dwight Eisenhower during his presidency either, and he's now also a very popular ex-president!

PWNYCNY Let me get right to the point: The problem with this movie is its utter lack of dramatic content. The story of Ronald and Nancy Reagan is so well known that this movie cannot offer any surprises. Further, the movie mocks Ronald and Nancy Reagan for being who they were - an actor and his devoted wife, and offers a simplistic portrayal of Mr. Reagan as being part Jed Clampett and part Gomer Pyle. What the movie glosses over is Ronald Reagan's career - college graduate, a Captain in the U. S. Army, the president of one of the most influential labor organizations in the entertainment industry, Governor of California and President of the United States. Pretty good resume for a small-town guy.

cerrolls In the aftermath of Reagan's passing, the entire media is hurriedly engaged in rewriting the truth about this highly-flawed but interesting man. Virtually all of his significant errors, short-comings, and failures are being sanitized, and as his canonization completes itself the myths that remains will be a sham. Every citizen who values the truth should buy this DVD now and watch it before it disappears, just like the truths it reveals are disappearing.In this remarkably factual production we learn about Reagan the actor, capable and pleasant. We also learn that he snitched off his pals to the HUAC. We learn that during the war he made movies in Culver City for the Army, and later had trouble finding work, finally winding up as GE's spokesman for Death Valley Days on Television, a medium he always held in contempt.We watch his disdain for the IRS grow as his income skyrockets, and how it matures into a complete repudiation of the Federal Government. And as his resentment of the Federal Government grows, we witness how the shadowy rich seduce him into becoming their tax-cutting puppet, from the Governship of California through 2 terms in the White House. Most importantly, we learn the truth about the most dysfunctional family ever to inhabit the White House, based largely on Reagan's shocking disinterest in his own flesh and blood. Mainly, however, we learn the truth about Nancy. Let's just say that the truth as it is revealed here eclipses everything that you though you knew about this shrewd and manipulative woman.This film contains the truths about Reagan that the Modern Cons don't want you to know. The source-work for this film is beyond reproach, with most of it coming from the writings of Reagans children first published years ago.Production wise, it's great. James Brolin is uncanny in his capture of the Reagan personna, and he delivers a performance that is charitable and kind. I think it's his best ever. The other performances are equally as good.Bottom Line: The truth is out there, and this is it.
