A look at the not so secret affair FDR had with one of his cousins. I will admit a measure of trepidation going into this one, and in the first 10 minutes or so I thought my fears of leg humping and political candy coating would be realized. But thankfully I was in error. This was a light enjoyable uplifting movie with subtle situational humor. The lions share of the movie occurs during a visit by the King and Queen of England on the cusp of WWII. Bill Murray does a believable, if not stellar, presentation of FDR. He comes across as less a politician culled from old money wealth, and more just a very likable and down to earth regular Joe who enjoys picnics and hot dogs. Easy watching and enjoyable family friendly viewing.
