A good movie but not what I expected. Murray is good but this is more love story then I expected. Worth seeing. I say B

"In a time not so very long ago when the world still allowed itself secrets, Frankiln Roosevelt was mine." In 1939 Franklin Roosevelt (Murray) was president and his home away from home is Hyde Park, New York. While he is there he looks for company and finds it in his distant cousin Daisy (Linney). Trying to mend relations with England he invites King George VI to Hyde Park for a meeting. This is the true story of that visit. As many of you know I am a huge history buff and political history mostly. I was looking forward to this movie for those reasons and also for Bill Murray. This was a good movie but not really what I expected at all. The movie does deal with the visit but it's mostly a love story between FDR and Daisy. Bill Murray does do a very good job in this but I think the most interesting character was King George. This is a movie worth seeing but be prepared for more of a love story then a historical one. Overall, good but not what I expected. I give it a B.
