I saw good and bad in it. Geena Davis is pretty, and the children's reactions are interesting (they're just that little bit younger than Zoe).
However, the titles irked me so much, as did the long lingering shots whenever Mackenzie looked at her children - as if only a woman president could love her children like that. I'm reading a book about the children of presidents at the moment - most of the men would have killed for their offspring. Jed Bartlett stepped down from the presidency (oh, yeah. He's not real is he? Damn)
And the Hilary thing irked me - after the first time it felt narky and unneccessary.
West Wing beats it hands down. But CJ/Mackenzie would still be pretty.
