The movie is largely based on the public perception of George W. Bush (at least among the people who oppose or dislike him) as a man who was intellectually over matched by the demands of the Presidency and was manipulated into invading Iraq largely by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. The overall movie lacks depth but makes for good entertainment. It softens up his image somewhat, painting him as e... read more

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick but it sounded intriguing and I always had a weak spot for Oliver Stone's work so I was really eager to check it out. Eventually, I really liked it. First of all, I have to make something clear, I'm really a sucker for movies about politics so the main subject was really interesting to me. However, the first thing that stroke me was Josh Broli... read more

" Cast : Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Banks, Colin Hanks, Toby Jones, Jeffrey Wright, Thandie Newton, Scott Glenn, Richard Dreyfuss, James Cromwell, Ellen Burstyn What was it about?

I Thought You'd Be Bigger: Part 2 (50 movies items)

"A timely biography of the 43rd being released right he is about to exit the White House seem like it could do well if treated with enough care. Many were turned away, however when audiences realized it was not the damning portrait they were led to believe, and painted the President in a more sypathetic light. Prediction: $50-60mil. Actual: $25,534,493."

50 Biggest Lies In Biopic History (50 movies items)

" The Untruth: The life of the 43rd President of the United States of America. The Truth: Considering how much potential there is for gags at the expense of the little President who could, this is a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of the most powerful cowboy in the world. Bush’s brother Jeb wasn’t so happy. He described the film as “Unadulterated hooey.” "
