Listed as comedy/drama, I'd be all for removing the comedy part. Although there are funny bits in this film, the tone is overall far from comedy. I had my doubts about Travolta in this role, and I still think it's not his best-fitting suit. But he manages to give enough dimension to the gouvernor running to be elected as the democrat's candidate and finally presidency of the U.S. I think Kathy Bates outplayed all the other actors, but they all hold their own. Thompson also impressed me with her acting. The story lends heavily from the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, which gives it a bit of a reality bite. A nice movie, albeit quite long (137 minutes). But I wasn't bored, and never had the urge to switch channels. 7 out of 10.
