Reviewed by Prismark10 5 / 10 The Front Runner Jason Reitman definitely has good directing skills but the movie needs to get to the scandal faster. Farmiga is great although Jackman is mostly a blank politician until the scandal breaks. I would suggest someone uglier than Molly Ephraim to play her character although it's a great role. There are a few interesting choices like not concentrating on Donna for the first half of the movie. Once the story gets going, it builds up a nice momentum. That incident could introduce Hart and the issue which would engulf his legacy. In fact, Bill Dixon talks about a better introduction with Warren Beatty. First, the 1984 flashback contributes nothing that an opening text couldn't deliver.
It should have been done at the beginning and get to the challenge quickly. It's the moment the movie finds its central idea. It doesn't start until after forty minutes when Parker's interview elicited the key challenge from Hart. The first part of this movie is a meandering introduction of all the players. Hart had met the beauty on a launch party thrown on the boat Monkey Business in Florida.

During an interview in a diner, Hart gets frustrated and challenges reporters to follow him to see his boring life. There are rumors about his marriage to Lee (Vera Farmiga). In 1988, Colorado Senator Gary Hart (Hugh Jackman) is the front runner for the democratic Presidential nomination.

Because of the consequences of his actions, Hart is disgraced, berated by Dixon, and forced to drop out of the campaign while his wife Oletha remains to be close with him. In a desperate attempt to clear his name, Hart tries to fix his reputation at a news event concerning the affair but to no avail. This proves to be a mistake when in 1987, photos of him and journalist Donna Rice are published by Miami Herald Reporters. At one point during his campaign, against the will of his manager Bill Dixon, Hart challenges the press and public to "follow him around" while he's not campaigning on weekends.
After losing the 1984 nomination to vice-president Walter Mondale, Hart decides to run for President of the United States. senator from Colorado, is the widely accepted front-runner in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
