The script was praised in Hollywood circles and was popular enough to draw actors such as James Brolin, John Cho and Lena Dunham to a reading last March, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
But it infuriated Reagan’s family, who called it stunningly insensitive.
“There’s nothing funny about Alzheimer’s. It is terrifying for the families of those who suffer from it. They live with the fear [of] what will change next, they have to live with this terror and grief every day. This movie is cruel, not just to my father, but to the millions of people who have the disease, and the millions more who care for them and watch them suffer every day,” Davis told Page Six Thursday.
On Friday, she cheered Ferrell’s move to ditch the project. “I am so relieved that Will has decided against this film. I can’t imagine that anybody else would sign onto it.”
“I’ve been deluged with letters and personal stories from people who are caring for someone with Alzheimer’s, and those who have just been diagnosed themselves.Itreally showed how widespread this disease is and how it just devastates families. It is beyond the pale that anyone would make it a comedy about it,” she added.
Her brother, Michael Reagan, echoed her praise. “Thank you for taking the right path,” he wrote on Twitter.
So many things out there maligning conservatism out there by the Left and they rally around this? Well, i guess when it comes to dissing their hero President Reagan, the Right just won't stand for it.
