Summary: John Adams
Comment: This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. My husband and I read the John Adams book by David McCullough and this follows it very good although there are some parts missing. You need several days to watch the video, but it is absolutely wonderful! The actors playing John Adams and Abigail Smith Adams should receive an Academy Award! They were exquisite. Tom Hanks was the producer and it really showed his expertise. Anyone who likes history, and our American history especially needs to see this video.

Summary: "John Adams" Miniseries
Comment: John Adams (HBO Miniseries)
If you enjoy American History and some good acting, I would recommend this DVD collection. I was fortunate to visit the John Adams historic site in Massachusetts, and the series is quite accurate. It's an inspiring and encouraging story that will lead you to think about the personal struggles and ideals of those who attended the birth of our country. A well-done film.

Editorial Reviews:

John Adams is a sprawling HBO miniseries event that depicts the extraordinary life and times of one of Americas least understood, and most underestimated, founding fathers: the second President of the United States, John Adams. Starring Paul Giamatti (Sideways, Cinderella Man, HBOs American Spendor) in the title role and Laura Linney (You Can Count on Me, Kinsey) as Adams devoted wife Abigail, John Adams chronicles the extraordinary life journey of one of the primary shapers of our independence and government, whose legacy has often been eclipsed by more flamboyant contemporaries like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin. Set against the backdrop of a nations stormy birth, this sweeping miniseries is a moving love story, a gripping narrative, and a fascinating study of human nature. Above all, at a time when the nation is increasingly polarized politically, this story celebrates the shared values of liberty and freedom upon which this country was built.
