Although I do not follow politics very closely, I wanted to see this movie. Ron Howard does a great job of pacing the film so that the two hours pass by quite quickly. However, some of the stuff was over my head as I did not know many of the political references to people or events. If you are into politics though, it would likely be even better, as I still found it to be a good film.

Frost/Nixon barely succeeds at being a competent re-creation of the interviews and the time leading up to them, but most importantly this film has no substance and no insight into anything, which is amazing considering the vast array of issues that could've been delved into. This is a carelessly made hollow shell of a movie whose bland dialogue and hackneyed plot devices cheapen what is thickly dramatic and wholly interesting material. The cast all perform well, although Frank Langella's Nixon, while nuanced very well, is not compelling and never lets us get a glimpse of the feelings of the real man. The exciting last 20 minutes or so of the film somewhat made up for the mediocrity of the first 110, but you can't really give credit for that bit of excitement to the filmmakers because it should go to the real David Frost and his team of researchers for creating those moments in the original interview. But what really [...] me off about Frost/Nixon was it's inclusion at the Academy Awards. This film's nominations in the Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay categories are without a doubt some of the most disappointing decisions in history. Especially considering some of the excellent films that were overlooked in favour of this flavourless cardboard cutout film. This is exactly the kind of movie that film-goers should be condemning. I highly encourage everyone to support original and creative new cinema by passing on the run of the mill Frost/Nixon in favour of a film like Slumdog Millionaire.

Phenomenal;awesome; finally, a throwback to REAL filmmaking! Not the garbage of today's teen trash. Ron howard is a genius and Frank Langella SHOULD have won the oscar ALONG with Sean Penn for Milk.

It was definitely intriging and well worth your money to see it.

A film that can really open the eyes of a generation that generally knows little about one of the most controversial figures of the twentieth century. Beautifully depicted by all involved, director Ron Howard is a true cinematic genius.

This film was dragged on for far too long. It was very boring around the middle of the film and seemed to be a waste of time re-telling a great historical story. I certainly hope it doesn't win best movie of the year at the Academy Awards.

For one to truly enjoy this movie, as I did, one must be familiar with the era and in particular Nixon himself. Langella should get the oscar nod for his performance which was both ruthless politico and sensitive human being.

I was very excited to see this film and ended up feeling disapointed. Great acting no doubt but it really put me to sleep.

I definitely recommend this movie. I expected it to be just a boring interview. However, the story, the powerful acting kept my attention throughout.

This movie as we saw a lot of exaggeration going on with a bit of sense of humor which brought not only my attention but to many of them. All the actors did extremely well and put this movie with spirits and made it interesting then to have it boring. Humor puts a little life into a film like this.

Nicely played, but I could not take my attention off the fake wig, way too obvious... Come on Ron you're slipping.

Very well made. Great acting, great script. An interesting behind the scenes look at the famous interviews. An excellent recreation.

Great docu-drama and it is no wonder it's nominated for best picture award! Both Frank Langella and Michael Sheen are excellent in their respective role, but be forewarned, it's not a movie for everyone. It only plays in select theatres because it's a select movie! Yep, it is Oscar material!

If you were born after 70's , this is a great movie about a US preseident that you never knew about... good acting...

As a viewer I was fascinated from beginning to end of this film but then I'm in my 60's and lived through the Nixon years and Watergate and I watched the David Frost show many times although not the interviews with Nixon. In short I brought a lot of personal knowledge and experience to the film. So that may be part of the reason that I was riveted to the big screen. Both lead actors were excellent in their roles as were most of those in minor roles. I totally agree with the nominations of the this film. However if you didn't bring much history to this film, your enjoyment and comprehension would definitely be affected.

This movie is tedious and bland if you don't know the backstory of what Nixon did. The whole movie works up towards the confrontation between Nixon and Frost and the scenes with the actual interviews are amazing. The rest feels like pointless filler. Langella is amazing as Nixon but I thought Michael Sheen did a much better job as Frost. Over all, not one of my favourites.

The acting was outstanding and the movie was never boring. I love this movie.

I enjoyed it, but I think it is a movie to watch on tv. I was hoping it would be better than that.

Frank Langella's performance is over the top. His portrayal of Nixon is stunning in that he looks, acts and speaks like Nixon but, more importantly, he succeeds in demonstrating that Nixon wasn't just a dumb, dishonest politician. Nixon was a very astute and wiley character who could hold his own in intellectual conversations and easily put his detractors back on their heels with his playful banter. Michael Sheen could have done a better job as Frost but all of the other supporting actors were great. This is a good semi-historical fillm. Langella is a strong contender for the Oscar!

I enjoyed the movie quite a bit. Langella was great. Thought he was Nixon by the end of the film. Loved the backstory, but expected much more dialogue between the two protagonists. Frost was played a bit too flaky.

An excellent movie, the actors were great, I really enjoyed it.
