A rare insight into a most difficult time in american history

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 2001)

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Having known people with New England accents some are more pronounced than others and did not bother me in the movie. The story was so engrossing and would be really good for the younger generation who is so far removed from the fear of a world war.(note: watch China)All the acting was excellent, and shows how difficult it probably was to know what the right thing to do and what a heavy mantel any president carries, especially the ones from difficult times in history.It has been an American past time to bad mouth the Kennedy's but I have always thought their strengths far surpassed their weaknesses and perhaps this movie will get people to re-evaluate their opinions of these great men.My personal favourite was the actor who portrayed Bobby Kennedy, perhaps because he so reminded me of the real Bobby, whom I remember most.He did a wonderful job, as did the other actors, a truly engrossing movie. Nine stars from me and my daughter.
