Reagan Is Almost Fun-Bad But It's Mostly Just Bad-Bad
Briefly

The film’s slick surfaces hide its shallowness, creating a one-dimensional portrayal of Ronald Reagan that ultimately undermines the complexities of his character and presidency.
Dennis Quaid’s portrayal lacks depth, reducing Reagan to mere imitation rather than a nuanced human figure, ignoring the unpredictability that defines impactful art.
With its narrow focus on Reagan's anti-communism, the film misses the opportunity to explore his complexities, reflecting more a propaganda piece than an honest biography.
The narrative voice of a retired Soviet intelligence official flatly characterizes Reagan as 'the Crusader,' yet fails to capture the myriad facets of his political legacy.
