Bob Newhart stars as President Manfred Link in this zany, wonderfully-cast comedy from veteran funnyman Buck Henry ("Heaven Can Wait", "The Graduate").

First Family Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Vincent Canby
[First Family] has sequences that are side-splittingly funny, others that are sublimely cheerful and still others that, like the movie itself, simply don't know how to end.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Disappointing acerbic political satire directed and written by Buck Henry.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
What is the sound of one man not laughing?
People Magazine
Ralph Novak
Buck Henry directed his own screenplay, which disintegrates about halfway through the film.
TV Guide
Filled with illogical situations and juvenile humor, First Family will have trouble getting anybody's vote.
