Guarding Tess (1994, U.S.A.)

What do you do with a former First Lady who’s unpredictable, ornery and impossible to please? Anything she wants! Shirley MacLaine and Nicolas Cage star in this comic, compassionate look at life after the White House for two former Washington insiders: First Lady Tess Carlisle and Secret Service agent Doug Chesnic. As uproarious as it is uplifting, GUARDING TESS is “a grand mixture of laughter and tears.” Gary Franklin, KCOP-TV
