The decision not to cast younger actors to portray the Reagans when they first met is a strange one, since Judy Davis and James Brolin are age appropriate for the White House years, but at least it gives us an opportunity to spend more time with these talents. Neither is at the top of the game, to be sure, but they're having fun portraying and often times eviscerating the iconic characters. It's enjoyable watching the pure mean-spiritedness this has, sometimes brimming on plagiarizing Mommie Dearest. Bad writing, cheap wigs and Judy Davis's over-the-top turn make this the camp it ought to be.
