God, that's so... 2006.
* * * *
I only saw the movie because a friend wanted to and I wanted to spend time with her.
Otherwise, it was pretty much a barely average movie released at the wrong time.
Pretty much did not say anything we didn't already know.
No big surprises.
Not enough digging into Bush's faith compared to his addiction issues and what aspects of his personality might have lead him in both areas.
Broslin channeled Bush very well. But not much insight into the person.
A few of the actors channeled their targets well too (Cheney, for example, was a good depiction).
Whoever played Rice belonged on "MAD TV" with her sniveling snarky deliveries, it ruined the tone of the movie.
Most haunting scene (well, besides Bush's interactions with his dad, I felt a bit bad for him): The last one, where he goes back to the catch the ball... and realizes he's standing in an empty field. No one is paying attention anymore. No one cares. He's obsolete.
Which, actually, is the sad reality now.
