Whatever your politics, the movie, “Reagan,” is worth a vote at the box office. It’s worth seeing for the performance alone of Dennis Quaid as Ronald Reagan, two-term U.S. president, 1981-1989. The movie glosses over many of the criticisms of Reagan and celebrates many of the triumphs of Reagan. “Reagan” is a feel-good movie of interest to devotees of Ronald Reagan, fans of Dennis Quaid and for those who long for a time when the office of POTUS was still presidential. Paul Willistein of Lehigh Valley Press reviews the Biography, Drama, History film.
