In general, this movie was a disappointment for me. After reading reviews, I expected something much more interesting. The story of FDR's relationship with his distant cousin did not hold me. (And no, I don't care to watch someone jack off the president of the United States.) Bill Murray made FDR very human, and I appreciated that - though I have no idea how historic that was.
For me, the one great scene was the one after dinner between FDR and King George, when George lets ago in anger because of his stutter and FDR looks at him with a straight face and says, "Yes, and damn my polio." Suddenly there is a bond between the two men, both of whom had their crosses to bear, and from there on to the end of that scene, I was completely caught up.
Would that the rest of the movie had been that good. For me, it wasn't. The acting was all fine, but the script simply didn't hold my interest.
