Academy Award® nominees Bill Murray and Laura Linney star in this delightful look at one of the most pivotal meetings in history. As Great Britain faces an imminent war with Germany, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Murray) and his wife, Eleanor (Olivia Williams), invite the King and Queen of England for a weekend at their home in upstate New York. But during the first-ever visit of a reigning British monarch to America, international affairs must be juggled with the complexities of FDR’s domestic establishment, as wife, mother, and mistresses all conspire to make the royal trip an unforgettable one. Hyde Park of Hudson is a charming and fresh look at true events and the mysteries of love and friendship, from the acclaimed director of Notting Hill.
The story of the love affair between FDR and his distant cousin Margaret Stuckley, centered around the weekend in 1939 when the King and Queen of the United Kingdom visited upstate New York.

Started awesomeDays of our lives would have been a better use of my time. Pretty much about an affair. I don't know why I watched this..Score: 1/5
Weird but somehow noteworthyThis is a quirky and surprisingly odd movie. It is good, but not a typical historical movie. FDR is flawed, and strange. I was not expecting the point of view. Watch it and be surprised!.Score: 4/5
A dopey movie...butYes, it is a dopey movie... but it is not a documentary. Most of the negative reaction is probably from people who cannot imagine using their beloved FDR as a vehicle for a somewhat comical movie - how dare one disrespect the God of Liberalism. That aside, this FDR is has very little in common with the real FDR except they both live in Hyde Park..Score: 3/5
Kind of smarmyShould have been cute and light with undertones of the threat of world war, but somehow it just comes out smarmy and off-putting..Score: 2/5
Disjointed...If you wanted this film to be like "Iron Lady" or "Kings Speech" then you will be disappointed. It is written like someones memoirs, and thats its flaw. The film ineptly jerks between FDR and the protagonist (his mistress/cousin Daisy). I feel they could have done so much more with the material... the only things worth seeing are Bill Murray as FDR in his Presidential role (distinct from his other womanizing side), and an interesting second look (coming off of Kings Speech) at King George and Queen Elizabeth. This movie really doesnt know what it wants to market itself as.. at times a flippant look at higher societies of the time.. at other times a study of power and its hold on people. Unless you enjoyed the source material you will probably be disapponted... it's narrative is more a recollection on the level of "the days of my summer"..Score: 3/5
Horrible plot, boring, uninspiredNot only is the plot & dialogue uninspired, but I kept thinking "what's the point?". Rambling, no real focus..Score: 2/5
Hyde Park on the HudsonAn interesting and well-acted film. Bill Murray's portrayal of FDR was quite believable and the manner in which he interacted with King George VI was warm, witty, and genuine. Based on this, I would have enjoyed more time spent with Roosevelt and his other historical figures of the day..Score: 4/5
