Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
The film, initially zippy (mostly thanks to J K Simmons as Hart's seen-it-all spin doctor), soon turns into a self-righteous mess.

London Evening Standard
[Jason] Reitman is one of cinema's cleverest filmmakers, but here his blending of humor and sentimentality approaches the maudlin.

4 stars out of 5 -- Jackman dishes up one of his finest performances yet.
Empire
Rating: 3/5 --
Overall, The Front Runner boasts a strong performance from Jackman, but it doesn't offer anything new or unexpected in your typical political drama.

Rating: 3/5 --
In 1988, 46-year-old US Democratic presidential candidate Gary Hart is on top of his political world, a golden boy whom nobody can tarnish. Until he does the job himself.

Product Description:
Set in 1988, during the much-publicized three weeks leading up to the Democratic presidential nominations, this true story story centers on Colorado charmer Gary Hart (Hugh Jackman) and the media tirade against him following the revelations of his extra-marital affair with a model. The scandal caused a media explosion in a new post-Watershed era of media-led personal exposes for the rich and famous; seeing his rising career derail as a result. Based on the original book by Mat Bai entitled "All the Truth is Out" Directed by Jason Reitman.
