In June 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Bill Murray) and his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams) host the King and Queen of England (Samuel West and Olivia Colman) for a weekend at the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park on Hudson, in upstate New York - the first-ever visit of a reigning English monarch to America. With Britain facing imminent war with Germany, the Royals are desperately looking to FDR for support. But international affairs must be juggled with the complexities of FDR's domestic establishment, as wife, mother, and mistresses all conspire to make the royal weekend an unforgettable one. -- (C) FocusIf You Like this movie you can streaming Hyde Park on Hudson movie without downloading HERE

Somewhat uneven and ultimately underwhelming, but there's plenty to admire and enjoy here nonetheless.Tom Huddleston-Time Out
A languid, tedious effort that never bothers to get to the heart of its characters, the film is a shallow reading of a significant time told mostly from the viewpoint of a lifeless character.
Connie Ogle-Miami Herald
It's never a bad movie, but it can't quite gel into a good one either.
Tom Long-Detroit News
Hyde Park on the Hudson' is a forgettable historical footnote.
Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
Essentially, Hyde Park on Hudson is a Shakespearean revel.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
Murray's spot-on portrayal of a man juggling myriad pressures and demands, from petty to momentous, marks one of the film's greatest strengths.
Ann Hornaday-Washington Post
It's been a long time since Lost in Translation (2003), which is the last time Bill Murray did anything of real note in a film. Here he partially redeems the latter phase of his film career playing pre-war US President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Jim Schembri-3AW
Bill Murray may not be going for laughs as World War II-era President Franklin D. Roosevelt, but he sure gets them in this slice of historical fiction.
Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com
A delightful piece of historical speculation grounded in historical details and personal recollections that have continually been coming to light over the last seventy years ... Murray is terrific in the part - charming, at ease and cunning as a fox.
CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
The issue of FDR's fidelity remains a thorny topic for traditionalists and historians, never mind the light, fluffy - and ultimately disposable - version of events.
Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age
There is nothing stirring or sufficiently humorous to engage us; the fact that a serving US President is having secret affairs no longer shocks
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
With the incongruous casting of Bill Murray as President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Richard Nelson's screenplay concentrates on the personal, offering a somewhat voyeuristic view of the events leading up to the 1939 visit of King George
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
Even Murray, who never fails to be the most watchable actor in any film, can't prevent Hyde Park On Hudson from being too insipid.
Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk
It's not the strongest premise for a movie, though Hyde Park on Hudson somehow contrives to make it seem rather less than the sum of its parts.
Tara Brady-Irish Times
Apparently Franklin Delano Roosevelt's polio paralysis didn't include everything below his waist. At least that's the impression left by Hyde Park on Hudson, which paints the president as a horn dog in chief... This isn't Lincoln, by a longshot.
Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times
When the central drama concerns whether the Royal Couple will eat hot dogs or not, you can tell it's too slender a premise to hang on a film on.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
FDR's story is strikingly relevant to how Paralympians strive so hard today to correct our perception of 'disability'.
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
Tedious PBS middle-brow fare, though not without a few amusing moments in this mostly forgettable historical pic.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's icky stuff, not helped by Murray giving perhaps the worst performance of his career. And I include Garfield 2.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
The film's special success resides in the women's hairdos.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
Perhaps Hyde Park on Hudson would have been more edifying if it hadn't been released in the wake of The King's Speech.
Dan Lybarger-KC Active
When the story's leading quartet have to negotiate embarrassing moments - a handjob for Roosevelt administered by Daisy in a bouncing car; eating a hotdog at a picnic for Bertie and Liz - it's Murray's FDR who is most at ease in the sticky situations.
Jason Best-Movie Talk
Inoffensive and insubstantial.
Brian Pendreigh-Radio Times
It's a bit antimacassar and too reliant on superior production design and a syrupy score. But if you just watch the acting, it's enough.
Derek Malcolm-This is London
The breezy, entertaining tone of this historical comedy-drama kind of undermines the fact that it centres on one of the most pivotal moments in US-British history.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
With such a strong cast, Hyde Park on Hudson should have offered so much more.
