Actually it was a really good movie, that played quite fair with the facts.
So, you would recommend it? I was thinking of seeing it, but I was guessing that with Julia Roberts in the film it would be a propoganda piece for the DNC.
It was alright, but no way was it one of the best movies of the year.
Some of the deadpan quips that didn't get a laugh were pretty funny. It was also nice to see a movie that left-wing critics attacked for its anti-Communism.
"Charlie Wilson's War" took a basically positive view of our Cold War involvement and that was refreshing.
But Sorkin's sniping at the religious was grating. It seems like his desire to score political points sometimes got the better of his script.
My big complaint was that the acting was so flat. Hanks and Hoffman have done a lot better in other films. Julia Roberts was just picking up a paycheck.
So yes, it wasn't a bad movie, but it certainly didn't live up to the hype -- so far as I could tell at least.
