Review of W.

W. (I) (2008)
3/10
Cast was Crap
2 March 2009
Oliver Stone should fire his Casting Agent, because the only actor that was cast correctly was "Josh Brolin" - everyone else was not even close in appearance or behavior. Dana Carvey would have been a better choice for George Bush Senior, Barbara Bush was too young, Condoleeza Rice was way too pretty, Laura Bush was not pretty enough, Carl Rove was way too short, Colin Powell was playing the Godfather with the cotton balls in the cheeks, Donald Rumsfield didn't look anything like him, unless you consider the glasses only, and Dick Cheney, well, he was OK. The most disappointing was Bush Senior, because there are possibly a hundred or more actors out there that could have done a better job than James Cromwell (probably in their sleep). Cromwell played Bush like he never saw or heard the real Bush before in his life, which is impossible, in todays media filled world. If it wasn't for Josh Brolin, this movie would be like a joke, because it is so poorly cast for a professionally made movie.
