Review
In King Vidor's King's Row former President Ronald Reagan famously asked "Where are the rest of my legs?" And that's what I was wondering as I watched the multi-faceted Kevin Kline try to balance comedy and pathos as a fictional president of the United States outed by reporters. As we're looking at Presidential films this week, I thought I'd give this another glance. And what I saw left me, frankly, baffled.I wondered if the homosexual commmunity was as outraged as I that a movie like this even had to be made.
