    Perhaps one of the State’s strongest presidential family units of all time is about to leave the White House for good – and after all the flak they have received in this time, they will be sorely missed.

    You see, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have wooed many with their strong relationship, supporting one another throughout Barack’s reign as president. Now, the story of how the two met has been turned into a “biopic”, Southside with You.

    But just how accurate is the movie? Here’s a snippet of analysis from The Daily Beast:

    Premiering the indie in January at Sundance to an audience of overwhelmingly charmed critics, director [Richard] Tanne admitted that “the trajectory of the date,” pieced together from public record and interviews, is “about 90 percent accurate.” Warm performances by star-producer Tika Sumpter and newcomer Parker Sawyers carry the film, which is highlighted by Sawyers’s spitting likeness to the real Obama and his ability to nail the 44th POTUS’s effortlessly charismatic swag.

    Right, so the characters are spot on, but what about the story?

    Of course, as Southside with You opens, both Michelle and Barack are bristling with excitement as they get ready for their first solo hang—she, primping at home while denying it’s a date, and he, coolly smoking a cig while reading a book in a wife beater. Did a young, sexy, book-loving Barack really blast Janet Jackson’s No. 1 hit “Miss You Much” while driving across town to swoop Michelle in his beat-up yellow Datsun?

    Was he also, as Southside with You suggests, instantly flirty, looking Michelle up and down like a starving man seeing food for the first time in his life? I’d like to think so (although only President Obama knows the real truth).

    David Maraniss’s Barack Obama: The Making of the Man confirms at least that yes, Obama drove a terribly beat-up yellow Datsun, one that did indeed have a hole in its floorboard, He’d bought the car for $500 after returning to the States from his soul-searching stint in Europe and Africa.

    Sounds pretty sweet, right?

    Here’s the trailer:

    So director Tanne did as much as he could do to portray story as accurately as possible.

    Just watch the power couple chat about their first date – the trailer helps you visualise the day in question:
