‘Reagan’ is wake-up call about the evils of communism, which, without study, is almost impossible to spot. This warm, fuzzy biopic attempts to blow the whistle.

Analyzing the critics-versus-audience Rotten Tomatoes skew has become my favorite jumping-off point for film reviews. What is it, really? It’s Progressive-versus-The Silent Majority; it’s the American film-o-meter that divides America’s movie tastes along political lines; the mostly-liberal versus the mostly-conservative.
