A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This is a documentary that follows the 1992 presidential campaign of Bill Clinton. I saw this in a political science class, and remembered that some of the students gave this quite the chuckle, from seeing the overzealousness of George Stephanopoulos to seeing a young, drab-looking Chelsea Clinton.It was interesting seeing all the ins and outs of a campaign, most notably seeing people running around like crazy like with chickens without their heads. It was quite educational, but, I really wished they would have given James Carville a major-makeover (forgive my opinionated mind). Grade B-

As a government teacher, this is one of the few movies I make sure I play EVERY year. The Ragin' Cajun is unstoppable in this film! Anyone who wishes to know EXACTLY what a campaign is like inside and out needs to check out this film. There is a scene in this film featuring George Stephanopoulous where he straight up threatens to end a guys political career, should he come out with allegations against Clinton. I am simply amazed that this scene wasn't edited out of the film. However, the simple fact that it wasn't helps me realize how "real" this film is.The only reason that I gave this a 9 out of 10 instead of a 10 out of 10 is simply that as time passes, the Bush v. Clinton election becomes slightly less and less relevant to viewers. Anyone younger than about 25 probably won't relate to the details (Jennifer Flowers, etc...) of this film.

You know all you need to know about this "documentary" with a statement George Stephanopoulos makes early to reporter Sam Donaldson.Stephanopoulous, a member of the unbiased (ahem) media since the end of the Clinton Administration and a former member of said administration, looks Sam right in the eye and says, with all sincerity, that Bill Clinton's "character has never been in doubt."Yeah, right.Well, if you want a lot more Liberal slants, especially by another crony, James Carville, this video is for you. It's all about how wonderful the Clintons are and how they got elected by smart guys like the above-mentioned pair. Actually, it's more of a praise-a-thon to Stephanopoulos and Carville than Mr. Bill. By the way, Hollywood would never make something like this if a Republican had won. They are only thrilled enough to make something like this if a Democrat wins.One other thing: it was a shock to see this on tape a couple of years after it was made just to see how young Clinton looked. It's amazing how quickly the job of President of the United States can age you.

I watched "The War Room" a few days after the 2004 election. Seeing Bill Clinton's strategies, I really got the feeling that John Kerry didn't do as much as he could have. But also, I could see why the far right went after Clinton: here was a young man who came of age in the '60s and was certainly a far cry from the old men who usually dominate Washington. But even aside from that, it was very interesting - even sort of funny - just getting a glimpse inside DC. I would recommend this documentary just so that people can understand politics better. With the midterm elections less than two weeks away, we just might have a chance to change the disastrous course that George W. Bush has led us on. A very good documentary.
