 Hanks and Roberts as folksy southrons? June 7, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I wanted to like this movie. I wanted to love this movie. After all, how could you not like a movie about a tiny cadre of heros who singlehandedly bring down the mighty Soviet Empire?
Unfortunately and in my humble opinion, the producers/directors of this film did a lousy job. Hanks as a folksy, womanizing Texas Congressman is an unconvincing characature. Roberts is better but not by a lot.
The Congressional Committee chairman is quite a bit better and his addressing of a crowd of starving Afghans is a rare moment of sensitive, high-quality acting.

I thought Tom Hanks was outstanding in this movie. Julia Roberts was very good in this movie. I highly recommed this movie.
Upbeat movie June 5, 2008
This movie was much more upbeat and optimistic than I expected given the subject matter. It's very good and unexpectedly funny.

Aaron Sorkins meets Tom Hanks and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. This is like viewing West Wing without Martin Sheen. The dialogue is clearly intended to stimulate creative thinking as well as entertain. Sarcastic, thoughtful, and at times totally wierd, this movie is just a delight to watch.
