Author of books that inspired 'Reagan' movie reflects on wild disparity between critic, audience reviews

EXCLUSIVE - Author Paul Kengor said the "disparity" between the Rotten Tomatoes critics' score and audience score for the movie "Reagan" was comparable to President Reagan's landslide presidential win in 1980 as he recalled his books' whirlwind ride to the theaters.

The year's best reviewed films have been assembled, and the film, "Reagan," has one of the biggest disparities in recent years — currently sitting at a 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. That's starkly different from the dismal critics' score of 18%.
