We saw it yesterday afternoon. It was great. I have been trying to figure out one thing though. They showed a book that inspired him that he read as a child. I tried to read the title every time they showed it, but could never make it out. Does anybody know what it was?
I believe it was “The Art of the Deal”
Is it this one?
“That Printer of Udell’s” by Harold Wright Bell

Critics are the far left’s political Hollowoodies. They check to make sure the new movies have all the appropriate communist propaganda or they get two thumbs down.
The description sounds right. Thanks!
IMDB gives it a 6.5 which is pretty good. IMDB is very lib and the real number is no doubt higher.
Thank you, after reading your post we went to see it yesterday. Here in Tampa most theaters playing were sold out.
The movie was awesome. Having lived in Germany during the fall of the wall. Later attending his funeral in DC, I couldn’t help but tear up. In the end the audience applauded.
The acting was superb, 5 stars for sure from me.
I worked for City of Eugene and Lane County Oregon for nine years. If he was mentioned at all, it was in the context of being a fascist.
Just saw, it was great. Hey first show of day plus senior discount—9 bucks. Small crowd, applauded at end.
Coming soon to a polling place near you:
TRUMP
November 5
Theaters will scramble to add more showings, just like with the public viewings as President Reagan laid in state.

West Germany, I have one of their toasters.
Towards the end of the movie Quade drops into the same voice pattern that he used in “Great Balls of Fire.” It was if Jerry Lee Lewis was doing a Reagan impersonation. It was a little jarring.
I was a huge admirer of Reagan. I loved the 80’s.
I wasn’t crazy about the movie. But, I enjoyed it.
Yes, “That Printer of Udell’s” is the book they show.
Thanks.
It most certainly did mention failures, devoting a long sequence to the Iran-Contra Scandal, and showed many uncomfortable minutes of grotesque street protests against both Ronald and Nancy Reagan, including his so-called neglect of doing anything about the AIDS outbreak.
I loved the movie and would eagerly see it again. Texted raves about it to friends immediately on leaving the theater.
We went to an actual theater and saw The Forge this past weekend - that’s twice in 1 year since we saw the Blue Angel movie earlier this year. We heard that Reagan is very good also, but don’t know if I can stand another theater trip any time soon.
The Forge was well worth the trip BTW.
