Gee... caught the part in the movie where W has a nightmare with his daddy telling him that he is a screwup. If only, Bush had a nightmare where he falls off the towers.

1. I've been avoiding that movie on cable
I've had enough of GWB to last me a lifetime.

Kudos to you for your bravery in checking it out

2. You should really check it out
The movie does W no favors, but makes him out to look like the less-favored son (which he was) to JEB! who ruined his family's somewhat-decent legacy, symbolically portrayed by him trying to catch a pop fly baseball at the end of the movie... only to have it disappear from sight. Josh Brolin completely owns that role now.

3. I saw less than 15 minutes of the end.
At one point I thought it was an attempt to portray him as a good human being. But if that segment was a good representation of the movie then it might be worth watching. Although I do hate looking at him or anyone portrayed as him.

4. I liked the movie as well. Bush was never cut out to be President
and was not groomed for it. Jeb was. Bush as the goof-off of the family and should never have run.

6. I felt the same way, finally watched movie and was pleasantly surprised
W comes off looking like an idiot, which he is, but movie really skewers Condi and Barbara Bush. My only problem was they made Bush 41 a sympathetic figure.
