Precisett This movie is magnificent!

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

MovieCriticMarvelfan I cant believe some people have actually fallen for the lies and garbage this movie presents, not only is it absurd but funny.The movies tries to portray Clinton as a victim of a witchhunt by the Republicans, yet it fails miserably.For one thing the movies tries to go back and forth with the testimony of criminals: Susan McDougal, Joe McDougal (who was convicted of money laundering and other stuff) try to come on and plead their cases as to how they were coerced to life for Clinton, yet their testimony is largely UNCREDIBLE.Second, Clinton lied on the witness stand, under oath about the Lewinsky affair "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" said the liar in 1998.It stands out there's as one of the most funniest political lies ever seen next to George Bush's "read my lip" message.Third, Clinton had a history of sexual harassing attractive women from Paul Jones, to Gennifer Flowers, yet the producer and director of the film "spin it" so that you don't know the whole story.For instance, Clinton admitted wrongdoing and settled out of court with Jones and the alleged affair with Flowers was proved true and of course with all know about the evidence showing he had oral sex with Monica (the semen stained blue dress).Yet this 50 yr old man calling himself our President goes on TV and lies to cover up his own rear fat end.Its shameful.Another thing as well, one critic said Kenneth Star aired Clinton's testimony on the same day Clinton addressed the UN on terrorism, yet in reality Clinton never tackled the subject, few people know that Clinton heard about Osama Bin Laden in 1992 yet did nothing.Clinton was spineless when it came to terrorism just as he was spineless in being truthful to the American people.oH YEAH and last year he took 10 million dollars to air his dirty laundry in the crappy book, "My life".Doesn't sound like a victim does it? No.No wonder this movie got a limited release.Avoid it.

tahirjon6 This documentary revealed in a narrative style, how shockingly powerful the campaign to destroy Bill Clinton was.The documentary ran like a thesis paper. Each statement was backed up by several facts, with at least one reputable political figure backing it up. There were also several confessions from well know republicans involved as well.The narrative style backed up by Morgan Freeman's dark voice provided yet another bonus.It truly provides an insight you've never seen. It changed my views on Clinton and how far certain political partys will go to get their way.Music- 4 Out of 5 Narration- 5 Out of 5 Proof- 5 Out of 5Overall- 9.5 Out of 10

dglink Another in a series of recent political documentaries that started with "Fahrenheit 911" and whose end does not seem to be in sight, "The Hunting of the President" is the least successful so far. While the film does have its moments, especially those that detail the brutalizing of Susan McDougal, the filmmakers try to squeeze too much into the short running time. Comments, images, and events flash by, especially towards the beginning, and left this viewer a bit confused. The clips from old movies, which I assume were for comic effect, could have been omitted as they only added to the clutter. Perhaps someone who has read the book would be able to follow the portrayed events better than someone who has to rely on their memory of newscasts from the period. While the film is definitely worth watching if for nothing else than as a history review, the talk given by President Clinton at the film's premiere, which is included on the DVD, is a concise and masterful lecture on political trends in American history and is more engrossing than much of the documentary. Mr. Clinton easily could pursue yet another successful career as a history professor

afhick Less a vindication of Clinton than an indictment of the press, this film provides a timely commentary on the excesses of journalistic zeal that almost brought down a presidency. I was especially moved by the women players, including Susan McDougal, aka Joan of the Ozarks, who was treated like a serial killer during her two years in prison, after she ran afoul of nasty-minded Ken Starr and his minions. I also like the brave and witty portrait of ex-Arkansas Governor Riley's wife Claudia. The facts presented here may seem all too familiar by now, but we can thank authors Joe Conason and Gene Lyons for unearthing a good number of them. Students of history will long debate the merits of the Clinton presidency, but the incompetence of the press is now an established fact.
