Why Dennis Quaid's Reagan Movie Is So Divisive: Rotten Tomatoes Critics & Audience Split Explained
Dennis Quaid's new movie, Reagan, is out, and, unsurprisingly, it's proven very divisive, with a big gap between critics' and audiences' responses. Reagan, starring actor Dennis Quaid as the titular president, Ronald Reagan, is a movie that falls somewhere between biopic and faith-based drama, though it is based on the 2006 book The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism by Paul Kengor.
The movie has also been criticized for pandering so hard to a specific audience that it comes very close to self-parody. That, argues critics, is because the movie has gone incredibly far to avoid and ignore any of Reagan's very well-documented flaws, both as a man and as a policy-setter.
