Oliver Stone tells the story of George W. Bush (Josh Brolin) from his youth as a spoiled, oblivious fuckup to his maturity as a spoiled, oblivious fuckup. This is a familiar and facile take on the president, attributing the Iraq war to his oedipal problems with H.W. (James Cromwell) and treating him alternately as an object of fun or pity, neither of which is particularly useful when he's still littering the world stage. It's most entertaining for its stunt casting of movie stars as the president's family and advisers; their performances range from the masterful (Richard Dreyfuss and Jeffrey Wright duking it out as Dick Cheney and Colin Powell) to the cartoonish (Thandie Newton as Condoleezza Rice). With Elizabeth Banks (as Laura Bush), Ellen Burstyn (Barbara Bush), Scott Glenn (Donald Rumsfeld), and Toby Jones (Karl Rove). PG-13, 129 min.
