Playing off the real life couple of James Carville (Democrat) and Mary Matalin (Republican), two high level speech writers from opposite sides of Political campaign meet and fall in love, despite their differences. I'm not sure why they knocked them down to senate races since in real life both were instrumental in getting their respective parties into the White House.

I wasn't expecting much from this one, and it's not great art by any means, but it ended up being charming and more fun than I was anticipating. Someone should tell that Michael Keaton to stop being so likeable.

This one's not going to win any awards, and it's probably not anyone's favorite film, but I had more fun than I was expecting to and that's not nothing.

25 words or less: Michael Keaton and Geena Davis are rival political speechwriters who fall in love. The moviemakers swore up and down that this romantic pairing wasn't based on James Carville and Mary Matalin; the movie might have been more interesting if it had been. As it is, Keaton and Davis are appealing (when are they ever not?), and the film falls squarely into the category of "cute romantic comedy" -- which is fine if you dote on that sort of thing, but if not, not. It is amusing to see the one-time screen Batman playing a scene with the one-time screen Superman (Christopher Reeve as a fatuous anchorman patterned on Arthur Kent). Otherwise, one of those movies I watched because I happened to be in the room.

Sometimes a little too much cheese, but it's really cute. And really cool.
