Maine Congressman Charlie Winship has had a bad day. After being caught on video failing to stand and recite the pledge of allegiance, he knocks out another House member, confronts his angry ex-wife, and faces denunciation by the media for attacking one of the most cherished patriotic symbols in America. As his life spirals out of control, Charlie embarks on a journey to a remote island in the Atlantic whose eccentric inhabitants are in the middle of a shooting war over their fishing grounds. Treat Williams stars as The Congressman in this humorous and moving film that raises the important question of what it means to be an American.
Leave your thoughts about The Congressman.
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerMr. Smith Does Not Go To Washington. Hey, a dramatic film actually about something. In this case, Treat Williams does dismayed and dropping out of DC politics, as The Congressman. But first invoking Sen. Margaret Chase Smith denouncing McCarthy back then. |
| Common Sense MediaAndrea BeachSo-so political drama has lots of strong language. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiEarnest and well-meaning, The Congressman devolves into predictable schmaltz. |
| Village VoiceDan GvozdenThe Congressman's politics and morals are childishly simple, featuring archvillains suffering buffoonish pratfalls and love stories that start up abruptly and quickly fizzle. |

It’s just that little of it is terribly fresh or funny, and it draws no blood. |
| User ReviewSylvia GEnjoyed the story very much, simple and real. All actors have great performance. A must seen. You will enjoy the movie and you will have a great time! |
| User ReviewSteve MBest movie I have seen in a while. It frames American patriotism in a beautiful, engaging, thought provoking piece of art. Watching this movie is time well spent. |
| User ReviewK LGood story, terrific cast, and a very enjoyable film all around. Much better than what the "professional" critics say, or maybe they are just too cynical. |
| User ReviewK MLoved it. Good story and great actors. Thoughtful study of what it means to be an American. Everyone should see this, especially during this disturbing election season. |
| User ReviewEstelle RGood, old-fashioned, simple story. Extremely good performances. |
