especially after seeing the 2 hour dcumentary in the History Channel (fantastic BTW) I thought Roberts nailed the Joanne character. The women in Wilson's life were at best, morally suspect, as they were portrayed in the movie. Maybe not the best movie of the yr but certainly entertaining and educational as well.

the scene where Emily Blunt comes down the stairs thru to her laying on the couch makes this movie worth owning!!

Agreed; History Channel primer helped... - mpathus 18:46:06 01/16/08 (0)
...my enjoyment, but of Nichols' work I felt this film too laid back -- although very important for its subject/relevance.

The moral issue of creating fiascos to somehow mitigate/avoid larger catastrophe was too simply presented imo.

I guess I was waiting for "...Wilson's War" to deliver something I couldn't have expected -- pretty tough thing to do as truth is becoming much stranger than the movies nowadays and few people have the answers.

Always love Philip Seymour Hoffman's work.
