★★☆☆☆ Desperately clinging to the coattails of last year's Academy Award-sweeping The King's Speech (2010), Roger Michel's Hyde Park on Hudson (2012) tells the story of an important weekend in the summer of 1939, when president Franklin D. Roosevelt (Bill Murray) played host to King George VI (Samuel West) and Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Coleman), who hoped to persuade America to lend support to Britain in the event of war. Beneath this politically charged tale is a love story between Fdr and his very distant cousin Margaret (Laura Linney), who becomes his mistress in his house in the the wilds of New York State.
