The Front Runner

In the spring of 1987, the smart money was on charismatic Colorado senator Gary Hart (Hugh Jackman) to head the Democratic presidential ticket the following year. However, his jousting with the political press over his rumored infidelities would all too quickly scuttle his ambitions and forever alter the landscape of government-media relations. Jason Reitman’s acrid American snapshot co-stars Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons, Alfred Molina, Ari Graynor, Mike Judge, and Sara Paxton as Donna Rice. 113 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
