Thomas Howell, Jeffrey Donovan and Richard Jenkins also star.

"LBJ" opened in limited release on November 3rd, 2017 and received mixed to negative reviews.

Harrelson also received a mixed response from critics for his performance, but is generally considered the best thing about this movie. And, of course, negative comparisons have been made between this biopic and the HBO film "All the Way" starring Bryan Cranston.

"After powerful Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson (Woody Harrelson) loses the 1960Democratic presidential nomination to Senator John F. Kennedy (Jeffrey Donovan), he agrees to be his young rival's running mate. But once they win the election, despite his extensive legislative experience and shrewd political instincts, Johnson finds himself sidelined in the role of vice president. That all changes on Nov. 22, 1963, when Kennedy is assassinated and Johnson, with his devoted wife Lady Bird (Jennifer Jason Leigh) by his side, is suddenly thrust into the presidency. As the nation mourns, Johnson must contend with longtime adversary Attorney General Bobby Kennedy (Michael Stahl-David) and one-time mentor Georgia Senator Richard Russell (Richard Jenkins) as he seeks to honor JFK's legacy by championing the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964."
