The WPI Social Committee is proud to present a sneak preview of "The American President," a Castle Rock Entertainment/Columbia Pictures feature opening across the country on November 17th. Through special arrangement, members of the WPI community will be able to view the film free of charge on Friday, November 10th at 8:00pm in Perreault Lecture Hall, Fuller Labs.
Starring Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Richard Dreyfuss, Martin Sheen, Michael J. Fox, David Paymer, and Anna Deavere Smith, the film takes a poignant look at what would happen if an eligible bachelor president of the U.S. would have a relationship with one of his constituents.
When widowed President Andrew Shephard (Michael Douglas) unexpectedly falls in love with environmental lobbyist Sydney Wade (Annette Bening), he must face obstacles which never confront the average citizen. Interfering with his efforts to maintain a relationship and personal privacy are an inquiring press, approval ratings and an aggressive political opponent (Richard Dreyfuss).
The film was produced and directed by Rob Reiner (A Few Good Men, Misery, When Harry Met Sally) and is rated PG-13.
Passes will be available beginning October 31st on a first-come, first-served basis to students, faculty, and staff members. To obtain two passes, present your WPI ID at the Social Committee office in Daniels Hall.
