Dennis Quaid is that rare person who actually got worse once they became sober.

The amount of Jesus references in this movie reminds me of how CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) was defined back in the day by the number of JPMs (Jesuses Per Minute). I wonder if that's the case with Christian movies now.

I just imagine Jack Quaid greeting everybody now with, "Hi, I'm Jack Quaid—I'm sorry, I never thought that film of Dad's would see the light of day!"

On the bright side, 15 of those 135 minutes are devoted to Nancy Reagan deep throat POV

The distributor, Showbiz Direct, only has ONE IMDB credit, and that's for this movie.

Appropriately, the Cinematographer's name is "Christian Sebaldt".

To my considerable surprise, Dennis Quaid does not have a producing as well as acting credit on this Opus Penguin.

and yet it came in third at the box office...

I honestly thought this movie came and went, because I remember seeing an episode of Pawn Stars where a guy who apparently worked on the production had a "Reagan" poster signed by Dennis Quaid that he wanted to sell. Instead of having the usual professional come in to validate its authenticity, they brought Dennis Quaid out to do it (Whaaaaat? These shows are fake?!?!?). That episode came out 3 years ago.

Maybe that's from the period where it was shelved, and they were hoping to sell it as this rare artifact from an unreleased movie.

Once upon a time, I used to have a teaser poster for the 1990 Captain America movie that I got from the theater where I used to work. Sure, it came out on video, but it was never released theatrically. Really wish I had held onto that one.
