Summary: Guarding Tess
Comment: THis is a favourite and a fun movie. Shirley MacLaine does a wondeful performance of an ex-First Lady who knows she is in the middle of nowhere with not much of a life. Nicolas Cage is great as the annoyed head of her security detail. The DVD arrived quickly and in great shape.

Summary: Yes, Ma'am!
Comment: That's the answer everyone gives Tess Carlisle (MacLaine) if they know what's good for them.
SAIC (that's Special Agent in Charge) Doug Chesnic wants to leave Tess' detail. He's been there three years and he wants to go back to Washington where the action is. Well, and besides, Tess Carlisle is driving him nuts.
He gets as far as the Director of the Secret Service's inner office only to be told that Mrs. Carlisle called the President and wants him back. What choice has he, but to go.
Doug thinks he's going to be tough on her, but the battle of wills between the two of them has none other than the President mediating when Tess can't win herself.
The film's a battle royale between two very strong-willed characters, but in the end when the chips are down, these two people take care of each other.
"Guarding Tess" is one of those surprise films that ends so well the bickering at the front's almost erased. It's just a good watch occasionally when you need to take some stress off.

Summary: Great!
Comment: Shirley McLaine is really convincing in this role as a rather difficult aging public figure, the widow of the deceased VP. Her co-star was a good match as well. I loved the movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Movie!
Comment: Maclaine plays a former First Lady who is a real piece of work, Cage is a Secret service man, the storie is funny and touching at the same time, I think is one of their best movies.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best of MacLaine and Cage, a great movie
Comment: Comedy, drama, and presidential families docu-drama, this movie has everything except nude sex, bloody violence, and profanities.
