- Not for the serious minded
ASIN First Family (1980)

Twenty years ago, before leaving for work, I would set the timer to record lunchtime movies. Some were real finds, like First Family. Madeline Kahn's comedic set pieces as First Lady are hilarious. Bob Newhart is the badly behaved President. I can believe that it received poor reviews. In the way that throw away gags sail over the tops of peoples' heads. Sure, parts are unfunny, but for those with a willing suspension of disbelief, enjoy and get it put onto ... Read More

- Comedy Central from somewhere in the deep dark midwest.
For you who think a all movies are supposed to have some earth shattering plot that moves you in some way this movie is not for you. If on the other hand you have a reasonable grip on reality and understand that comedies are supposed to be funny then this movie is for you. It is a compilation of skits loosly tied together in a theme about a pathetic presidential administration floundering to find a solution to the nations problems. The humor is excellent, and the characters are well played by ... Read More

- Funny as Saturday Night Live in parts
This is a stupid movie and not really worth releasing on DVD because you only want to see it once or twice, to point out the few jokes to other people. However, because it was written by Buck Henry and co-starred Gilda Radner, it sometimes has the feeling of Saturday Night Live. In one scene, the President is waving at a crowd with a mechanical dummy, knowing that the people hate him and may want to assassinate him.

- Disappointing
Being a fan of Bob Newhart, Madeline Kahn and Gilda Radner I was very disappointed with this movie, crass humor has worked well in many movies but failed miserably here, it wasn't funny at all!

Rating:

- A very funny political spoof.
Gilda Radner has never been funnier, and with this great movie, she should have won the academy award. Starring Bob Newhart, madeline kahn, Gilda Radner, and Bob Dishy, it focuses on what REALLY happens in the white house, or in this case the nut house! A few jokes don't work, but if you can find this movie you will start laughing. Very rare movie, and only about 300 in New York!
