Former Alf regular Max Wright appears as an author to whom Murphy (Candice Bergen) has granted authorization to write her biography. Once the deal is signed, Murphy begins to fret over what her friends and colleagues will say about her when interviewed for the upcoming book. This results in an "all-star nightmare" for our heroine, featuring a number of real-life politicians and journalists--including virtually the entire cast of 60 Minutes! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

There is an abstract notion of doing things "the American way" that may be difficult to convey to people in foreign countries. As a nation, Americans understand this concept, and as a voting public, expect the president to embody the visionary ideal. In the film, The American President: The American Way, four presidents are examined for their unique abilities to understand the concept. Thomas Jefferson, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, and Ronald Reagan all adhered to this uniquely American way, which influenced their executive actions. ~ Alice Day, All Movie Guide
