Tom Hanks and Charlie Wilson’s War: Dud Movie or Sleeper Hit?
The movie Charlie Wilson’s War, despite the title, is as much about the war of politics in Washington and the USA in general than about Afghanistan and military spending. Oh, and it’s a comedy of sorts. It stars the inimitable Tom Hanks and America’s Sweetheart, Julia Roberts – who was 3 months pregnant while filming, even while wearing the two-piece bikini while emerging from a backyard pool.
The Universal Pictures movie, which also stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, opens this Friday, Dec 21st. See the NY Times for a more indepth review.
