Bill Murray is playing President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Holy shit! That is awesome. I’ll only get interested in a period piece like this every so often. I really dug “The King’s Speech”, but a lot has passed since then. In this movie FDR and Eleanor are hosting the King and Queen of England at the Roosevelt home in Hyde Park. It’s 1939 so Britain is heading to war with Germany. They want FDR’s backing so that leads to another aspect to the first reigning monarch visit to America. There is family drama and hijinks going on as well to add an extra layer of interest. To be honest, I don’t want to know that much about this. I just want to see Bill Murray do what he does. That on its own is always worth the price of admission.
