The story is the reason you go to see this, when I saw the previews for this movie, I thought it was going to be a parody of George Bush. However, the primary focus of the movie was about George Bush's life prior to becoming president, and his life after becoming president. Let's face it Bush is a president that faced many situations that no other president ever faced. I think the movie shows his zest for life and his rebellious side that Clinton and Kennedy also had. this film is not a bomb and yes it does have a couple moments that make you laugh. I’m sure Democrats salivate and Republicans cringe when they see this film. The fact that this movie was released so close to the election date I find absolutely appealing.
I believe Stone tried to be more than fair throughout the film. Oliver Stone knocks it out of the park in the sense of restraining his own opinions and staying in scope on a story strictly about a man and his dad. However the end runs a bit astray, much like the Iraq War, and could use some roping in or less editing.
Just go see this entertaining movie and relax it is just a movie.
