Inspired by Barack and Michelle Obama’s first date, Southside With You recounts the eventful summer day in 1989 when a charming young law associate named Barack Obama (Parker Sawyers, Zero Dark Thirty, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit) tries to woo reluctant attorney Michelle Robinson (Tika Sumpter, Get On Up, “Bessie”) during a daylong date that takes them from an art exhibit to a screening of Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing to a sweet first kiss outside of a Baskin-Robbins ice-cream parlor.

It's a nice and relatively ordinary romance where nothing much happens, but it's wrapped in meaningful conversations and the significance of a person and their journey. Nothing out of the ordinary, but the main characters are named Barack and Michelle. Yes, the President is a great visionary and romantic, and he smokes! No, it's just an ordinary romantic movie; even this aspect doesn't make it anything more.
