5.0 out of 5 stars Running Mates - a TNT original Movie, October 3, 2000

Having now seen "Running Mates", I can offer a few thoughts. While talking about the film in earlier interviews, Tom Selleck stressed that It should not be seen as competition for "West Wing" and the like but rather as light entertainment ("Capra-esque") with a political backstory. Selleck, in his own laid back way, is capable of just the required touch to make his character work. He seemed at times tired but any candidate at that stage of his campaign would be...the fact remains that integrity shines out from everything he says and does. As to the rest of the cast..... Nancy Travis had her most powerful scene early on in the limo. Fiery and moving... Laura Linney (The Truman Show) as campaign manager had the most prominent role, second only to Selleck and took full advantage of it. Faye Dunaway is an accomplished actress of long standing and she handled the emotional role of Meg Gable brilliantly. Which leaves Teri Hatcher's Shawna. Her Hollywood liason is not based on any particular person in showbiz but Shawna is surely everyone's idea of what the leader of a Hollywood Coalition would be. She showed talent as a light comedy actress, also in a dramatic scene with Selleck and in the later powder room scene. Someone mentioned that the ending in the conference hall was predictable but emotionally satisfying....my feelings exactly. An excellent TV movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars might even be 5, April 12, 2002

"tomhreece" (Chicago, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Running Mates [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is a good watch. Selleck is perfect for the part and the rest of the cast is excellent. There is a scene later on it the film that is worth the price of admission in itself! Laura Linney,Faye Dunaway,Nancy Travis and Teri Hatcher together in a room talking about the man is one of those moments you watch movies for.Besides the cast and the humor and the politics this is afeel good movie.Watch it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great political film., January 10, 2001

By

This review is from: Running Mates (DVD)

I had first seen this film on TNT and I liked it immediately. When I found out it would be released on DVD, I got it right away. I was surprised but glad that the film is presented in a widescreen format. The film had a great cast which gave good performances. The film's humorous moments were also enjoyable. This movie can be compared to the film "The American President" and the series "The West Wing". This is one of the best films ever made. I think that this film is really worth watching.
