Yes, it’s about time we had a proper film about Ronald Reagan.
After all, he won the Cold War, ignited the American economy, and presided over what many believe to be the greatest – and funnest – decade in American history!
And while the biopic of the 40th United States President probably won’t get much love from critics, the people have already spoken.
For starters, check out this clip of Glen Beck interviewing the great Dennis Quaid about playing one of America’s most iconic figures:
Dennis Quaid joined me at my ranch for a special episode of The Glenn Beck Podcast about his new movie, “Reagan”: “It was the scariest role of my life. It’s now my favorite movie that I’ve ever done.” pic.twitter.com/NqhQZChZkK

And here’s some thoughts from movie-goers:
Tonight Susanne and I saw the Reagan film and just about flipped out at how great it was. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW to see it. It's patriotic and faith-filled and artistically EXCELLENT. Dennis Quaid could get the Oscar. You heard it here first. https://t.co/mB8fttKVLm

Dennis Quaid is incredible as Reagan in a must-see movie. REAGAN will not only take you back in time for a look at the world you may have remembered but the world you may not have known!

We saw the new Reagan movie tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Dennis Quaid gave an impressive portrayal of the former President.
It was a powerful reminder of the necessity of the long battle against Marxist philosophy, which so many in our country are now embracing. pic.twitter.com/OWXssXJQRU

And check out Dennis Quaid’s appearance on Joe Rogan where he talks about the censorship of the movie:
The Reagan movie is about the fight against communism. Why would Facebook censor the promotion of this film? Dennis Quaid, who plays Reagan, said this on Rogan. pic.twitter.com/M6ebWLkuGV

Fox News reports on “Reagan” shattering box office expectations:
“Reagan,” the first full-length feature chronicling the life of former President Ronald Reagan, outperformed box office expectations in its opening weekend.
Starring Dennis Quaid as the 40th U.S. president, “Reagan” closed out the September 30-August 2 Labor Day weekend with an estimated $10 million, according to Box Office Mojo. The film took the third spot behind “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “Alien: Romulus.”
The biographical drama “almost doubled projections that it would make about $5 million in its opening weekend,” the Oklahoman reported on Monday morning when the film was projected to earn $9.2 million.
Think about that…”Reagan” took the 3rd spot behind “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “Alien: Romulus” – two mega-budget movies.
If those movies hadn’t had their crazy budgets – including marketing -, would they have even beaten “Reagan”?
It’s a big question.
But aside from that, “Reagan’s” success isn’t a surprise.
It’s got a great cast (Quaid, Mena Suvari, Jon Voight, Robert Davi, Nick Searcy…etc.), a great subject, and is filmed quite well.
Yet here’s the thing…
If we want more movies like this, we’ve got to support them.
So your mission is simple…
Go see Reagan!
