New Ronald Reagan Movie Gets Panned by Critics
Theaters Empty for Reagan Biopic
The latest biopic about former President Ronald Reagan has been met with overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, with many calling it 'unwatchable' and 'a disgrace to Reagan's legacy.'
The film, titled "Reagan," stars Dennis Quaid as the 40th president and chronicles his life from his early days as an actor to his presidency and his eventual death from Alzheimer's disease.
Critics Slam Movie's Accuracy and Acting
Critics have taken issue with the film's historical accuracy, with some arguing that it whitewashes Reagan's record and fails to address his controversial policies.
The acting has also been criticized, with Quaid being singled out for his wooden performance.
- Variety: "Quaid's performance is so wooden that it makes a tree look like a contortionist."
- The Hollywood Reporter: "The film is a disgrace to Reagan's legacy and a waste of everyone's time."
- The New York Times: "Reagan is a film that is so bad it's almost funny. But not quite."
Box Office Bomb
The film has also been a box office bomb, grossing only $2.5 million in its opening weekend.
This is a far cry from other recent biopics, such as "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Rocketman," which both grossed over $200 million worldwide.
