About this movie

From executive producer John Legend comes this uplifting romantic movie based on the real-life first date between President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. On a summer's day in 1989, a law associate named Barack Obama used all his charms to woo attorney Michelle Robinson. SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU brings that magical encounter to life as it follows Barack and Michelle on a day-long date that takes them from an art exhibit to a screening of Do the Right Thing to an unforgettable first kiss.

Ignore the hateful trolls and their negative reviews. Mark them as Spam since that's all their comments are. But don't mark every 1-star review as spam just because you don't agree with that assessment, only those with comments from outright obvious Tea Bag Alt-right spammers who would never, ever pay, let alone watch, a film about a (black) president who actually cares about all people, not just those who voted for him. As their new idiot-elect would say, so sad!

If it was easy anybody could do it. Being so vivid not much else needed to be added. In perspective, a real it factor. Profitable viewing for my sore eyes, insights included. Wow very refreshing just wow. Having so far to go yet. Keep your watch from being stolen to be told the time. One Love.

I love the Obama family, but for this movie to be only about their first date is not worth the money (for me personally) I wanted more detail like how they first met, their wedding, childhood, you know things like that.
