i quit watch the west wing after aaron sorkin quit writing and produce . it just wasn not the same . imagine my thrill at see a film that he write again . it have be a long time the american president and a few good men . his script be a beautiful blend of humor and tragedy . he make a compelling story believable and and make me weep at the same time . tom hank be incredible a a small time texas congressman whose constituent only want low tax and to keep their gun . not a hard job and so he have plenty of time to fool around and that he do . his office staff look a if he be at the playboy mansion . like he reportedly say and you can teach them to type and but you can not teach them to grow tit . despite his sexist attitude and which fit right in with a texas congressman and they be fiercely loyal and especially his aide and amy adam ( junebug and former hooter girl ) . now and add a rich texas socialite who want something do in afghanistan and play perfectly by julia robert while and a pain in his bos as cia agent and superbly do by philip seymour hoffman and and you have a movie well worth watch . outstanding writing and and superlative acting and and a story that need to be tell . what more do you want at the movie .
