"The First and the First Lady" is first and foremost a fictitious tale about how President Obama and the First Lady met and fell in love. It's a sweet love story with a strong comedic flavor, a step above the typical romantic comedy.
From the very beginning, readers are immersed in the titillating story of Barack Obama as he tries to convince the women in his life that he is worth so much more than great sex. That topic alone may have been enough for a different kind of writer but not Michael David and Sarah Box they have a few tricks up their sleeves.
"The First and the First Lady" follows a young Barack Obama as he learns to stand up for himself, speak his mind and pursue what's important to him. The story catapults to greatness with the introduction of Dr. Berry. Dr. Berry is quite funny as the quack psychologist who is obviously more in need of therapy than his patients. He gives us outrageous and bizarre characterization that leads to clever dialogue and gives the tale the edge and uniqueness that we so love and admire.
This romantic tale is not just about romance. It's about something much more important empowering yourself and going for what you really want at all costs. Barack Obama, a hopeless romantic, is convinced that the world is populated with sex-starved women. Throughout his days and nights, he is bombarded with vivacious, sultry women, visiting his apartment, even accosting him on the street. Though he shares some enjoyable moments with these women, Barack grows tired of the overwhelming attention. It has gone on long enough and he wants so much more.
When Barack finally meets the girl that he believes is like no other, we learn the true meaning of pulling out all stops. Just when we think the story has come to a successful conclusion, the writer throws us a curve, proving once again that true comedy is totally unpredictable.
Michael David and Sarah Box's story picks up hot and heavy steam in the middle and hurtles to a memorable, feel-good conclusion. With the authors' infused dialogue and charged action, Michael David and Sarah Box make it clear in no uncertain terms that they are a major new voice in the literary world.
"The First and the First Lady" is a unique story filled with quick wit and many surprises and there are no lulls in this screenplay, so get comfortable because you will read it all in one sitting. It's easy to read without being overly descriptive, and the characters are people we would love to meet. Readers will be impressed by this comedy in so many ways.
