What the Press Would Say:

An all-star cast brings the story of the most fascinating family in this country's history to the screen with searing power. Most of the actors were gutsy enough to have many hours of make-up in order to bring their character to the screen. Jack Nicholson & Meryl Streep are perfect as the backbone of the Kennedy family. The film's supporting cast is pitch perfect, with Kevin Costner finally showing us his great talents. First time screenwriter-director Corey Wackel nails the difficult material.
