"With how much the press covered these events when they happened, I'm really not sure we needed a dramatic re-telling. Sure, some of the casting is clever and inspired, but what did we really gain with this film?" - Glenn Howard, Total Film


"McConaughey is slick as President Clinton, even if the makeup isn't always very convincing. Like him, the rest of the cast is uniformly up to the challenge of their characters." - Joseph Thornton, Mercury News

"For those of us who remember all the characters from the countless hours of news coverage on the scandal, we will have fun seeing this interpretation of the events by the talented cast assembled." - Albert Perry, Orange County Register
