Saw it last night, pretty interesting and worth the few bucks to see it in theaters.




Not sure if this would be considered spoilers but just in case.











First of it does contain most of the famous "Bushisms" and does have an edge of humor to it, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a comedy.


The way it was written and paced almost made me feel sorta bad for the bumbling bush character. What I noticed about all the current situations explored in the movie (Iraq etc) is that it was insinuated that the cabinet members around him were screwing him over by putting craptastic clauses or spins on the policies he'd put into place and then shoving him in front of a podium when the shit hit the fan.

The flashbacks to his hard drinking college days are all centered around how he supposedly has an inferiority complex with his father and feels that he is never doing good enough in daddy's eyes, which focuses him throughout the movie to get to the presidency.

There's a lot of private behind the scenes moments shot in a way to show the human side and not the president we all see on TV ( him on the crapper, him talking in bed with his wife, getting dressed for the day etc etc)

It didn't really seem that anti bush to me, more anti bush's cabinet. Makes him seem like a sorta slow guy who realized he's dug him self a giant hole by the time he's to deep to climb out.

Also the cast was Excellent, everyone they chose were really good impersonators, even the ones that didn't quite look like the character in question. Who ever played Cheney was freaking scary.
