Plot Summary
Let's Get Frank is the story of one of America's most well loved and outspoken politicians. It's also a hilarious and insightful movie about modern politics, gay life and political hypocrisy. Filmmaker Bart Everly spent 24 months following Representative Barney Frank (D-Mass.), one of the nation's few openly gay politicians. With unlimited access to both his professional and personal life, Everly captured Frank doing what he does best - being frank! From Capitol Hill to Fire Island, Frank's sharp wit, outspoken views and down home understanding of politics have made him popular and respected - on both sides of the political fence. After surviving his own sex scandal, Frank became one of President Clinton's staunchest and most effective defenders.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Frustrating lack of context leaves you wanting a lot more in the way of texture.
Rotten: Disappointingly slapdash and spotty in its approach.
Fresh: There's nothing new here, but Frank provides a genial reminder that politics doesn't always have to take the low road.
Fresh: Frank, who has been told he should do talk radio, is a natural in front of a camera and microphone, and his ease comes across in Everly's film.
