Despite the made-for-TV origin, this movie came out quite well. FDR and ER are most heroic; there's enough detail about FDRs mom to give you a feel for what that family was like; and much of the main story stays around the real events.
Unfortunately - either because of these PC times of some direct monetary/political funding by ADA - it works the disabled angle to a fault.
FDR became one of the world's more remarkable men despite being crippled by polio and overall refused to acknowledge to his public that he was in fact in a wheelchair. It's a shame to revise this.
