Review of Running Mates

Running Mates (2000 TV Movie)
3/10
Whew - a stinker on all counts
7 August 2022
This is one of those - "what the heck was that all about?"

So, we have Tom Selleck - bemusingly unidentifiable without his mustache - his character? Trite, Mr. President goes to Washington sort

We have Laura Linney - bloodless "career gal" character uniquely unlikeable

We have Faye Dunaway & Robert Cult - one word for each: Why?

Script - trite characters, moronic witticisms, simplistic forces of right vs. Darth Vader "men in black".

Production - slick but pointless

Verisimilitude - all you need to know is they rely on cameo's by Arianna Huffington from her HuffPo glory days together w. A gaggle of other back-in-the-day newsbeat talking heads whose names nobody will even remember if you're watching in 2022 or beyond - for "cred" - other than that, the whole thing's just baloney - heck, baloney's better.
