“Reagan” beat box office expectations during its opening weekend in September. It came in at No. 3 behind “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “Alien: Romulus.”
Despite a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the biographical drama has become a target of leftist outlets that widely panned the film.
The Daily Beast named “Reagan” the “worst movie of the year.” Harsh reviews were also published in The Washington Post, Variety, The Wrap and The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the film’s opening weekend.
In an interview with Fox News Digital last August, Quaid brushed off his concerns. Portraying a Republican president would cause him to be “cancelled.”
“It’s a biography. It’s a love story. It’s about all of us as America that we’ve always been in,” Quaid said. “A lot of that stuff is distorted because people have agendas. So, yeah, they tried to cancel me a couple of times. But so what?”
Reagan may have been a divisive figure for some on the left, Quaid said, but a film about his life isn’t “political.”

“When I was offered a role in a movie called Regan, I read the script and immediately knew I had to play the part. See, the role I was asked to play was that of a Soviet citizen by the name of B.E. Kertchman, who defected to the United States in the 1920s,” he wrote.
“When I came to America 45 years ago, I thought I had gone to heaven. The people I met were friendly and open-minded. There are so many products that it’s unbelievable. in the Soviet Union I had to spend hours waiting in line to get to America, buying something as simple as toilet paper. And I cannot speak openly about ideas that are not sanctioned by the state. In America, I can express my opinions openly on just about anything without fear of being prosecuted,” Baskin continued.
“I always thought it would stay that way in America forever. Unfortunately I was wrong. The new country I cherished so dearly began to change. I began to notice the ideology of Marxism – which has been discredited countless times around the world – slowly creeping into the spotlight. aspects of our lives,” he said. “Traditional moral values are being overthrown. And simple common sense is becoming anathema to the intellectual elite.
