But thats a challenge thats been overcome before.

Hart will then have 1988 sewn up.

Jump ahead four years, and Hart is a man on a mission.

On a charisma scale with 1 being Wolverine and 10 being P.T.

Barnum inThe Greatest Showman, hes at least an 8.

Unfortunately, he also seems to have a wandering eye that will eventually get him into trouble.

Hart was not a man without ego.

Nor was he a man without a seducers charm.

He was a politician, after all.

Combine those two things and you get something like what happened on the Monkey Business.

The problem is, its sub-Sorkin Sorkin.

As Harts long-suffering and publicly humiliated wife, Vera Farmiga does what she can with not very much.

At least, not very much that we havent seen dozens of times before in movies and on TV.

Kaitlyn Dever is equally appealing as Harts daughter, albeit with an even thinner part.

ButThe Front Runnerhas a lot of sympathy for him.

Maybe more than it should.

Actually, heres a suggestion: Watch that movie instead.C+
