Haven't seen the movie - and won't. But those who are saying it potrays Bush in the worst possible light are, according to all the reviews I've read, probably wrong. I've actually heard quite a few say that (echoing some of Cleburne's post) they sort of pitied him after seeing it. I can think of many film-makers that could make a realistic potrayal and can guarantee you that pity wouldn't be one of the words used after seeing it.

Agree with everyone regarding Stone though. I consider him a thief of good ideas. He takes subjects that could or should be made into serious, thought-provoking movies and turns them into fictionalized trash.
