Streamlined by director Mike Nichols and screenwriter Elaine May, Joe Klein's sprawling novel based on the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign has become a smart and very funny satire about the bloody game of American politics. Idealistic campaign worker Henry Burton (Adrian Lester) continues to believe in the possibility of a politician who actually cares.
