Governor Mike Morris is running for President, and along side him is his trusty team. One of those being staff member Stephen Meyers. Very idealistic and committed to the cause, and getting his boss into The White House. He becomes involved with one of the interns, but to save any embarrassment, in other words, he does not want his colleagues to know about her, he refers to her as 'the cleaning lady' when asked who is in his room. This becomes quite a joke for them, until it is apparent that she has been 'cleaning' for the Governor also.
Meyers is also approached by Tom Duffy, the Campaign Manager of the Governor's opponent. This meeting will cost Meyers dearly.
It is a compelling story told brilliantly in the 100 minute running time. Clooney excels both in the Director's chair, and also as the charasmatic Governor. The film boasts an all star cast, all delivering top notch performances, the best of which comes from Ryan Gosling, who can do no wrong, his films are coming thick and fast, and each as good as the other, though I have yet to see "Crazy Stupid Love". Certainly the man of the moment.
There are plenty of twists and turns, and more than a fair share of back-stabbing. Great story, fantastic cast, what more could you want? 8 out of 10
