Southside with You

I'm surprised how much I liked this film Been let down with the 2nd Term of this President but this is a really interesting story. Great camera work, lighting, score and good acting particularly by the dude playing B O. Highly recommend this. Tells a great story, seems pretty true to life.

i am no obama's fan but this movie is well written script and quite smart that it was condensed into 1 day, prequel to his successful historic campaign. the gist of his character and michelle's is cleverly introduced, keeping the tension of the romance tight. this show is appropriate because we aldy know what happened but the writer is so good to extract the history which may not be so well known to us. thank God the editing is very polished to keep it at a short 1 hr plus movie. the only thing that make me cringed from giving a 7 is the lady acting as michelle. i thought michelle is very articulate, friendly and joyful. the actress seemed like she had a short brain and so pompous. nauseating.

What an interesting concept, make a movie about the President and First Lady's first date. While it was very informative about the formative early days of the Obama's, it was overly long. What should have been a great one hour TV show was stretched to 1 and a half hours.

This movie relies on affection for Obama which 50%+ of Americans don't have. There isn't anything here of interest without it. Film critics, and journalists in general, are 90% or so Democrats. And live in urban areas where media is mostly based. This film will serve as a certain type of porn for them. And unbiased critique however finds a dull movie across nearly every aspect of film making.

Save your money. This film like the real thing is a big dud. I let a friend talk me into going and from the very start it was just simply stupid. I think America is ready for these two to move on.
