Franklin D. Roosevelt used a wheelchair because of polio, but "Hyde Park on Hudson" paints a genial, warts-and-all portrait. Charmingly represented by Bill Murray, the film's Roosevelt is a jaunty bon vivant who enjoys his cigarettes, martinis, good conversation and plenty of sex with distant cousin Margaret "Daisy" Suckley (Laura Linney). If you like your U.S. history breezy, here's a film half as long as "Lincoln" and three times funnier. (Rated R.) COLIN COVERT
