On a summer's day in 1989, a law associate named Barack Obama used all his charms to woo attorney Michelle Robinson. SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU brings that magical encounter to life as it follows Barack and Michelle on a day-long date that takes them from an art exhibit to a screening of Do the Right Thing to an unforgettable first kiss.

Ratings and reviews

Ignore the hateful trolls and their negative reviews. Mark them as Spam since that's all their comments are. But don't mark every 1-star review as spam just because you don't agree with that assessment, only those with comments from outright obvious Tea Bag Alt-right spammers who would never, ever pay, let alone watch, a film about a (black) president who actually cares about all people, not just those who voted for him. As their new idiot-elect would say, so sad!

I'm seeing a ton of hate written about Barack Obama on the review my question is why bother writting nasty things about this man when his term is basically over typical right wing racist white men bashing a guy that tried his best.did he have his flaws ?of course that's what being human is all about last time I remember 9/11 didn't happen under his watch & another thing unemployment rate has gotten lower Einstein

EXCELLENT portrayal, wonderful acting. I can not imagine how many dozens of hours of video Ms Sumpter & Mr Sawyers must have watched to capture their subjects. I felt like a fly on the wall, watching Michelle and Barack on their first... umm... outing :-) Well done!
