El presidente y Miss Wade

Synopsis

Andrew Shepherd is approaching the end of his first term as President of the United States. He's a widower with a young daughter and has proved to be popular with the public. His election seems assured. That is until he meets Sydney Ellen Wade, a paid political activist working for an environmental lobby group. He's immediately smitten with her and after several amusing attempts, they finally manage to go on a date (which happens to be a State dinner for the visiting President of France). His relationship with Wade opens the door for his prime political opponent, Senator Bob Rumson, to launch an attack on the President's character, something he could not do in the previous election as Shepherd's wife had only recently died.

User reviews

Paul Johnson
6/10

The soundtrack of The American President perfectly captures the emotional depth and complexity of the film's romantic and political themes. The music enhances the on-screen chemistry between Andrew Shepherd and Sydney Ellen Wade, creating a poignant and heartfelt atmosphere that resonates with the audience.

Charles White
3/10

Some of the instrumental choices in the soundtrack seemed outdated and out of touch with the modern setting of the film. The music did not feel contemporary or relevant, which made it difficult for me to fully immerse myself in the movie-going experience.

Brian Hill
6/10

On the other hand, while the soundtrack effectively sets the tone for the film, some tracks may feel a bit generic and predictable. Certain musical cues seem to follow a formulaic approach, lacking the innovation and originality that could have elevated the overall listening experience. Despite this, the overall composition and orchestration still contribute to the film's narrative impact.

Karen Hall
4/10

The music did not effectively capture the emotional depth of the film's storyline. I felt that the soundtrack failed to enhance key moments and instead fell flat, missing opportunities to evoke strong emotions in the audience.

Melissa Jones
1/10

The soundtrack of The American President felt repetitive and lacked variety in terms of musical themes. I found myself getting bored listening to the same melodies over and over again throughout the movie.
