Review: W.



The latest Presidential biopic from Oliver Stone wisely isn't the slapstick kicking of Dubya it threatened to be - just watch Will Ferrell's off Broadway show to see how rubbish that would be. Disappointingly though, the film stops short of being the harder and darker expose into the influence Cheney and Rove had over Bush, with the brief moments the issue is explored being the most interesting bits of the film by far.

Key moments off his presidency are missed out (9/11, Katrina) and it doesn't tell you anything you didn't know before - apart from the brief moment when Prince William was apparently Prime Minister of Britain that I must've missed.
