Ignores a lot of what really transpired. Ignores Frost's own version of the events, and instead goes for a sentimentality instead of giving us a good narrative.

For the most part, the film tries to make history out of something that really wasn't that important historically. Who are they trying to kid?

The guy playing Nixon doesn't even look, or talk like Nixon. Being the history fanatic that I am, I'll never be able to get over that. It just ruins the whole movie for me.
