Review, Charlie Wilson's War

…in 100 words or less.


The truth. Afghanistan needed help. Congressman to the rescue. $1 million budget raised to $5 million. Then $40 million. Soon to more than $1 billion.

‘80s setting hilarious and nostalgic. Tom Hanks. Boozer, womanizer, fraternizer, smart ass. Funny, smart and entertaining. Scandal ensues due to being seen with smoking hot strippers. Julia Roberts. Not a southern belle. Bad accent, great body. Political dabbler. Über Christian. Phillip Seymour Hoffman made the movie. Wise cracker, intellectual, atheist wannabe hardass. Great cast, excellent script. Historically accurate portrayal of something Americans don’t even know about. Laugh and learn. Oscars all around.

Can't wait to see this one. Convincing review. Julia Roberts always leans a little to heavily on playing cute for the camera.

Despite Julia, this movie was awesome. I love Aaron Sorkin.
