Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I know I'm saying it 8 years later but I watched the TV episodes available online and I would have loved to see more seasons. It is an excellent TV drama and I don't understand why they canceled it. The characters and the dilemmas she has to solve are all interesting certainly not for shrinking violets. I like the mixing they have done with her life as President with all the duties and long working hours and how it affects the members of her family in particular her husband and her older daughter. I like how the husband becoming the first gentleman is handled too. When he enters the completely pink First Lady office it is really amusing. Donald Sutherland as the political antagonist is really good and his relationship with his wife which shows a completely different aspect is also intriguing.

After watching only the pilot, I was motivated to purchase the entire first (and only) season. Geena Davis is perfect for the role as President Mackenzie Allen. This series will grab you, make you interested in national affairs, as well as the internal family affairs. It almost makes you wonder why ABC took it off the air.I was also very pleased that the makers of Commander in Chief did not engage in ridiculous yet subtle political attacks. Although I do see them as slightly further left than right, they do present a mostly balanced view of Washington.This is a fantastic series, and everybody, interested in politics or not, should watch this show.(And tell ABC that your still waiting for more episodes)

Okay, I wasn't much of a fan as I should have been. I think it's because dramas on television today have become more actor/actress driven than the writing etc. Anyway, this show should have been an easy slam dunk for the network who was known to making interesting decisions. First, Oscar Winner Geena Davis as a likable Vice President who becomes President was a great casting call. She was believable in the role. Second, the other cast members were equally perfect like Kyle Secor as the First Husband and Donald Sutherland as the President's friend and foe. I don't understand why the West Wing was such a hit but not this show. People were tuning in to see this show regularly. I guess the network didn't want the controversy of a female president. Think Hilary Rodham Clinton! Maybe they felt that women should just be resigned to playing mothers and wives like at Desperate Housewives or lovesick surgeons on Grey's Anatomy. This cancellation is appalling and the network executives should be ashamed of themselves for letting one of the good shows go.

This show was so amazing. The plot was interesting and it always had me hooked, I didn't want it to end. It's a good show and I would recommend anybody to watch it. ABC did a terrible mistake cancelling it. Geena Davis was awesome playing the first woman president, she had confidence and strenght. I love the fact that they finally made a show that could illustrate how good and smart a woman could be in the position of being president.I would tell people who have never seen it to buy the DVD, you will find yourself watching over and over again. What I liked the most was the fact that she had to balance being the most power woman in the world with being a mother and a spouse as well.
