the 3 star be for phillip seymour hoffman . nothing else and no one else in this movie deserve even a wee smidgen of a star . well and ok and amy adam deserve a wee smidgen and but the smidgenometer doesn not seem to be work and so i will stick with 3. tom hank . nothing . julia robert . nothing . mike nichols . do you see a trend yet . aaron sorkin . omg and not a chance . i could rant on for several paragraph about the way charlie wilson war gloss over history and morality and legitimacy and so on and but i do not think any such rant could outweigh the gushing of aaron sorkin fan . the rest of you and beware . spend your movie money elsewhere . still and if youre look for a pithy comment and here mine . you can put hot fudge sauce on a pile of garbage and but it change nothing . garbage be garbage and so be charlie wilson war .
