Het verhaal gaat over een bizar moment in het leven van Franklin Delano Roosevelt, de 32e president van de Verenigde Staten, en werpt een licht op diens affaire met zijn verre nicht en vertrouwelinge Daisy. Dit alles speelt zich af in 1939, tijdens een weekend waarin de Britse koninklijke familie op visite komt in zijn buitenverblijf te New York. (Benelux Film Distributors)

An amusing story that could brighten up your day if it hadn't tripped over its own feet. Laura Linney is magical even approaching fifty, and Bill Murray effortlessly steals all of Hyde Park for himself, but the imbalance of individual episodes and the unbelievable final melodrama do not allow me to rate this any higher. And considering how diligently Roger Michell tries to combine political references with romance, that comes as a true disappointment.

The biggest drama of this film is actually whether the royal couple will or will not have hot dogs with the president of the United States on a picnic, which are offered to them. The film almost evokes a bit of absurdity, but it ultimately shies away from that and wants to give it proper emotions and historical meaning. Which it doesn't succeed in.
