The unspoken premise of the film: We are getting a never-before-seen look behind the candidate’s facade. We are seeing the "real" Al Gore, body surfing with his family this minute and dressed for Halloween as Frankenstein’s monster the next. The potential leader of the free world shows us the bedroom he used when he was a teenager ("the bed’s still not made," Gore cracks), points out a revealing self-portrait Tipper painted while pregnant (prompting her to block the camera while objecting, "Al, you’re really showing him our house"), and makes funny faces for the benefit of his year-old grandson (and, more important, the camera). The film ends with Gore asking one of his daughters to turn out the lights and inquiring, "Now, do you want me to get up and cook breakfast for you?"
In November of 2000 you could still order the film from C-SPAN.
