Movie description
Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas) is a handsome, youthful widower and a dedicated Democrat raising a teenage daughter. He also just happens to be the president of the United States of America, and a very popular one at that. Unfortunately, he's also quite lonely, and the life of a president leaves little time for dating. But when he meets luminous lobbyist Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening), he's instantly smitten and impulsively (and somewhat awkwardly) asks her out to a state dinner. Shocked and highly uncertain of what she's getting into, Sydney accepts his invitation, and the courting process begins--to the unrelenting delight of the media. The chief executive's protective staff, however, isn't so sure the romance is a good thing, particularly when political paparazzi capture Sydney spending the night in the presidential bedroom. While intriguing to the press, the affair spells trouble in the form of Republican presidential hopeful Bob Rumson (Richard Dreyfuss), who uses the romance to attack Shepherd's supposed lack of family values and moral instincts. Rumson's ploy works--Shepherd's popularity plummets, weakening his reelection bid, his hand on Capitol Hill, and ultimately threatening his relationship with Sydney. If Shepherd salvages his political career, will it be at the expense of Sydney's love?

USA Today - p.1D - Mike Clark

Variety - Todd McCarthy (11/06/1995)

THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT

Synopsis:

 

Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas) is a handsome, youthful widower and a dedicated Democrat raising a teenage daughter. He also just happens to be the president of the United States of America, and a very popular one at that. Unfortunately, he’s also quite lonely, and the life of a president leaves little time for dating. But when he meets luminous lobbyist Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening), he's instantly smitten and impulsively (and somewhat awkwardly) asks her out to a state dinner. Shocked and highly uncertain of what she's getting into, Sydney accepts his invitation, and the courting process begins--to the unrelenting delight of the media. The chief executive's protective staff, however, isn't so sure the romance is a good thing, particularly when political paparazzi capture Sydney spending the night in the presidential bedroom. While intriguing to the press, the affair spells trouble in the form of Republican presidential hopeful Bob Rumson (Richard Dreyfuss), who uses the romance to attack Shepherd's supposed lack of family values and moral instincts. Rumson's ploy works--Shepherd's popularity plummets, weakening his reelection bid, his hand on Capitol Hill, and ultimately threatening his relationship with Sydney. If Shepherd salvages his political career, will it be at the expense of Sydney's love?

Q.  Is this product new and sealed?

A.  Yes, all of our DVDs are brand new, still sealed, never opened, and never played. These are not copied, burned or Asian DVDs. They are new U.S. release.

Q. Is this DVD region one?

A. Yes, all of our DVDs are region one. This means they are exactly the same as you would buy at any retail store in the country.  Region one means that they are manufactured to play on DVD players in the United States and Canada.

Q. Do you ship to any other country?

A. Yes, Canada and if noted in the auction worldwide.

Q. Do you ship APO/FPO?

A. Yes.

Q. Can I pick up if I live locally?

A. We do not offer local pick up option.

Q. Is it full screen or wide screen?

A. This question is answered in the listing for the item, under "display format", or sometimes under "item description". If there is nothing specified in the listing, this means that it does not specify on the product, and therefore, we will not know.

Q. Have you shipped my item yet?

A. If it has been more than 3 days since payment has cleared, it has shipped.  We often ship same or next day. If your tracking says “does not indicate receipt”, this does not mean that your package has not shipped. USPS will only show when your package is scanned at post offices in route, and when delivered. Bear in mind that if you paid via pending e-check, your shipment will take additional time, sometimes a week or more, as we do not ship until the e-check has cleared

Q. How long is shipping?

A. As stated in our listings, priority shipping is within 2 to 7 business days. Standard shipping is 10-21 business days. If you receive an email from Ebay stating your item has shipped it does not mean it has shipped. It only means we have transferred the item to our shipping and ordering system. It will ship within 1-2 business days from this point. USPS quotes shipping time on media mail is 10 to 21 business days. This does not include weekends or holidays, and is just an ESTIMATE.  Please realize that we do not control USPS shipping time. Please do not email us unless it has been 3 weeks since payment cleared, and your package shipped via media mail hasn't arrived.  We will then be happy to cross reference the Ebay order # and provide the tracking #.

Q. Will you take less for this item?

A. We do not negotiate our prices, or shipping prices. If you do not agree with shipping prices, do not purchase. We offer a great overall price on our merchandise.

Q. Do you combine shipping?

A. Yes, on most single “eligible” items (usually does not include multi sets).  Additional auctions purchased ship for $2.00. Please do not pay for your items until you are finished shopping, or the system cannot combine your items to give you a discount. If you have problems combining, just email us and we'll send you a new invoice

Q. Can I return?

A. We do not offer money back returns.  If there is a problem, such as a defective item, we will have you ship the item back to us, and we'll happily send a new one.  This seldom happens, but the merchandise is sealed, so we would not be aware if there is a problem inside the package.  If there is any problem, just let us know. We will deal with issues on an individual basis.  Please do not leave negative feedback before giving us a chance to correct a situation. We want every buyer to be happy with their purchase.

Q. Can you please send feedback?

A. We leave feedback as soon as you have received your merchandise, the transaction is complete, and we have received positive feedback.

Q. Our tracking number shows the item was delivered, but we have not received it.

A. We cannot be responsible for a shipment if USPS has marked it "delivered".  Insurance is strongly recommended.  This way, you can file a claim with the postal service. We do not file claims for you, but we will provide any additional information needed by USPS.

Q. Can I pay next week?

A. Yes, we allow up to two weeks to receive payment. On the 15th day, an “unpaid item” will be filed.
