Summary: An Insiders View to Political Campaigns!
Review: This is a must see for anyone interested in political campaigns or running for office. It provides an excellent insiders view to campaigns behind the scenes...spin, research, dealing with media. Its all there and brilliantly guided by James Carville: a man who will earn greater respect from those who have seen him in action in this documentary.

Summary: Great Insight into a campaign
Review: This movie is the current state of the art look into a political campaign on the run.Carville and Stephanapoulos are really the central characters in this documentary, not Clinton. The action is very entertaining, even though we all know how the story will end. Watching the movie now, it is a bit interesting to see if you can sense the impending fallout between Clinton and Stephanapoulos. Watch this movie, and read either "What It Takes" or "The Boys on the Bus" as an essential primer on how political campaigns are waged in the television age. My only complaint is that this is exactly the type of movie that can take advantage of the opportunities offered by DVD: Historical charts, timelines, bios, etc. These were opportunities that were missed in this version.

Summary: Good Documentary
Review: This was a pretty interesting look into the 1992 presidential election. Its pretty cool to see what actually happens behind the scenes of a campaign. Its also interesting to see Clinton and Gore almost 10 years ago, and how there is always controversy. Im not sure if Carville was acting or not though like some other reviewer said. I think hes just a showboat in general. Anyway, this is a well put together documentary that can be enjoyed by anyone who has an interest in politics.

Summary: Excellent Inside Look at hardwork and determination in POL.
Review: Upon viewing this film in my freshman year at college, it really touched me and played a major role in determining what I wanted to do as a career. James Carville is nothing short of brilliant and hardworking. I think every single classroom in both High School and College should view this film, not only as a lesson in American Government, but as a life story as well.

Summary: He Killed Elephants Before Breakfast
Review: What gauled his 1992 Democratic rivals in the primaries, infuriated Ross Perot all summer long, belittled George Bush in the general election, and humiliated Bob Dole four years later, was Bill Clinton's seemingly effortless ability to out-campaign anybody. Say what you want about Clinton as President, as a campaigner he was absolutely invincible. THE WAR ROOM turns part of that perception on its head: the '92 Clinton campaign was anything but effortless. From the get-go, Carville and Stephanopoulus are scrambling to stay ahead of the scandal-a-day strategy the GOP used. Luckily for them, the Bush team focused on spinning rooms full of political reporters and forgot to campaign. If I could change one thing about THE WAR ROOM it would be to have spent more time with Carville. The Rajin' Cajun may annoy his opponents to distraction, but the man can talk, and he's the most successful campaign strategist of our time.
