We saw this today (for some reason the French version amused me), and it was OK. Great acting but it suffered from what one review called "an uneven script." It seemed to flash by interesting things and linger on other stuff that was more mundane. Also, we thought it would be about his life at the White House but very little of it involved that, it was mostly about his family and the civil rights movement. Then as we were driving home Mari looked the inspiration up...turns out that aside from there being a black butler that served the White House for 30 years, everything else in the movie was made up. We were under the impression it was semi-biographical, but it's not at all so that kind of knocked our opinion down a bit as well.
