Second viewing; previously viewed on May 16, 1998.
A psychoanalyst is summoned by the Intelligence agencies of the U.S.A. to treat the President. After some time performing his duty, he decides he can no longer withstand the stress caused by his new job.
Political satire. One of those films which seem to be a compendium of its era's quirks. Its approach is naïve and superficial, and, in at least one specific segment (the one with the suburban family), also bigotted under the guise of anti-bigotry. While rather inconsequential overall, it's easy to watch and mildly curious. I had no recollection of having watched it previously, and only became aware of that fact when I checked my personal notes. Also surprising was my favorable opinion of it on that earlier occasion.
Rating: 45 (down from 65)
