"It's like a really bad Disney movie...".....


actually it is like a movie, though a classic....."Mr. Smith Goes To Washington".....


The governor of an unnamed state, Hubert "Happy" Hopper (Guy Kibbee), has to pick a replacement for deceased U.S. Senator Sam Foley. His corrupt political boss, Jim Taylor (Edward Arnold), pressures Hopper to choose his handpicked stooge, while popular committees want a reformer. The governor's children want him to select Jefferson Smith (James Stewart), the head of the Boy Rangers. Unable to make up his mind, Hopper decides to flip a coin. When it lands on its side - and next to a newspaper story on one of Smith's accomplishments to boot - he chooses Smith, calculating that his wholesome image will please the people while his naiveté will make him easy to manipulate.

Smith is taken under the wing of the publicly esteemed (but secretly crooked) Senator Joseph Paine (Claude Rains), his late father's oldest and best friend. He develops an immediate attraction to the senator's daughter, Susan (Astrid Allwyn). The unforgiving Washington press quickly labels Smith a bumpkin, with no business being a senator. Paine, to keep Smith busy, suggests he propose a bill.

Smith comes up with legislation that would authorize a federal government loan to buy some land in his home state for a national boys' camp, to be paid back by youngsters across America. Donations pour in immediately. However, the proposed campsite is already part of a graft scheme by the Taylor machine and supported by Senator Paine.

Through Paine, the machine accuses Smith of trying to profit from his bill by producing fraudulent evidence that Smith owns the land in question. Smith is too shocked by Paine's betrayal to defend himself and runs away. However, his cynical aide and secretary, Clarissa Saunders (Jean Arthur), has come to believe in him and talks him into launching a filibuster on the Senate floor just before the vote to expel him. While Smith talks non-stop, his constituents try to rally around him, but the entrenched opposition is too powerful and all attempts are crushed. On Taylor's orders, newspapers and radio stations in Smith's home state refuse to report what Smith has to say, and even twist the facts against him. An effort by the Boy Rangers to spread the news results in vicious attacks on the children by Taylor's minions.

Much like Jason Bourne, I think Damon forgot who he is: An ok actor who is lucky to have the work. He has succeeded in making himself look condescending and ridiculous.

"It's like a really bad Disney movie..."

Funny thing, no mention of the fact that Obama's slogan, "Yes We Can, Si Se Puede," happens to be the tag line for a 2002 Disney Channel original movie.
