I am now a big fan of Treat Williams! The Congressman is worth watching just for his outstanding performance, especially the powerful speech he delivers towards the end of the movie. I cried along with several others in the audience.
There are plenty of laughs especially every George Hamilton scene. Great cinematography of a spectacularly beautiful island and very good original score.
I want to see more message movies like this one. In an age and culture of snark and superficiality, this movie comes through with a seemingly old fashioned message not only of values but of those American values and standards that are worth fighting for.
As others have said, this is a modern Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
