Prioritize:
While The Fairy Tales for Ema was a pure romantic comedy, Madame President is exclusively a romantic fairy tale for adults. Havlík came up with a nice idea to offer the Geisler/Vetchý pairing again, but it still needs someone else in the script to make it at least a little more believable. Even in the book version, it's a purposeful respite, with a happy ending for everyone, even the last doorknob. Whoever likes something like that will be fully satisfied. Others can, of course, happily look elsewhere. ()
