Who'll love it: A natural pick for people who need a good giggle and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Leaves you with something to think about. Shelve it next to Code 3.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 43 min.
What might put you off: Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Actor Robert Vaughn takes on writer Dore Schary's acclaimed one-man play, "Sunrise at Campobello," bringing to life one of America's most beloved and influential presidents: Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Focusing primarily on the political figure's battle with polio, this made-for-TV movie reveals the humanity and grace of the man who led the country through some of its toughest times, including the Great Depression and World War II.
