"W." is a biopic of former president George W. Bush. The film shows all the struggles that Bush had to go through to basically make his Dad proud. It shows how Bush was a bit of a loser in the past. He was in trouble with the law, he was a drunk, and he had no ambition. He then decided to run for president to basically prove that he could achieve what he put his mind to.
The film is not very good. It is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. You never feel anything for Bush. He is not a very likable person. He is just an all out loser.
The only thing that was good about the movie was the acting from Josh Brolin. He did a great job. Looking at Brolin, you would never think he would be able to pull off playing Bush, but he does. He was very convincing.
The other actors were just ok, but Thandie Newton as Condoleezza Rice bugged the hell out of me. I usually like Newton, but her performance in this just seemed like a phony impression of the real person.
"W." could have been an interesting movie especially if they dealt with 9/11. The film was just long and boring. If you have a chance to see it, skip it. Don't bore yourself to tears.
